    Mary, the Head of Partner Relations at Tumaini Kwa Watoto, embarked on her impactful journey with Tumaini Kwa Watoto in 2010. Reflecting on her early days, she shares, “When I first encountered the harsh realities faced by street children, I was apprehensive. But witnessing their genuine struggles, I quickly realized the urgent need for intervention. Tumaini Kwa Watoto offered me the chance to be part of the solution, focusing on restoring one child at a time to a secure family environment.”

    “Nonetheless most of them had and still have genuine cases that needed to be listened to. I had to be part of the solution. Tumaini Kwa Watoto gave me this opportunity as a ray of hope which means focusing on one child at a time, restoring them into a secure family. I have also grown to know myself; discovering this huge heart that wants the best for others. I live to serve, and this brings me great fulfillment.”

    Years later, it is still invigorating. It is my motivation every day.
