Grace Wambui Kiragu, 64, has lived in Kibera for 20 years and joined KCU in 2012. She supports 8 children who are all orphans by running a day care and selling poles for constructing houses. Two loans amounting to $180 have helped her to buy more poles. She lives next to the railway line and is in constant fear of being evicted by the Railway authorities. Her aspiration is that the children may grow up to able to fend for themselves and look after her in her old age. In April 2014, a fire destroyed her home, leaving her without anything at all. Neighbours have given some clothing and bedding, but not enough for the children’s needs. (updated April, 2014).
