Meet Leokadia, a beneficiary of Wakonyu. She has adopted 3 orphans (grandchildren of her late sister). She sells ground nuts as a source of living, Leokadia never had any kids, she was born barren as a result, she has no one to take care of her, she just relies on the mercy of the Christians from her small prayer group who often do donations for her since her groundnuts business can't sustain her. Due to old age she has arthritis and swollen joints, she can only walk by the help of a stick. She says that she is very grateful to Wakonyu for having reduced the burden for her.
Little Cherise outside their home in Pandi Pieri. Wakonyu hopes to restore life to adopted orphans.
"When my name was removed from Wakonyu due to lack of funds, i felt so bad because i wondered how i would survive. I'm the sole breadwinner of my family, i run this small hotel as a source of living. I have three children one is a total orphan. My husband has been grounded for ten years, he developed paralysis. My only hope is that Wakonyu will one day afford to take me and my family back to the program so that we can access treatment" -(Florence)
