One of the strongest women we know, Christine, caring for her beautiful child.
About 96% of our sponsored children’s guardians are women and apart from taking care of these children to ensure they are safe and well bred, they also inspire them through their daily efforts to provide for their daily needs. Our focus today is on Christine.
Living in abject poverty, this wonderful mama has not let misery and self-pity hold her back from striving and working hard in her small homemade snack business to provide for her children.
Christine, a mother of two and aunt to Grace and Everline, works for four hours daily in her village market selling samosas to locals. Her daily schedule is well laid out and her art of multitasking is admirable.
Despite staying vigil most of the nights to make sure her son Shadrack is comfortable in his sleep, she ensures also during the day that he is well cared for and her products are ready on time.
Speaking to her, she describes her son’s cerebral palsy as a motivation to give her all in everything she does because he reminds her of how precious life is despite the many difficulties facing her.
Her joy emanates from the fact that her small business helps her fend for Everline, Grace and Shaddy, as well as keeping her eldest daughter in school.
