Esther

Esther is a determined 58-year-old woman living in Mataani, Kenya. She is a talented artisan who enjoys weaving ropes to pass the time. Despite facing significant health challenges after a fall from a tree left her with a severe spinal injury, she holds onto a deep hope to recover so she can fully support her children’s education and build a brighter future for them.

Because she cannot perform hard manual labor due to her back condition, the family faces immense financial strain and is currently homeless. Esther lives in a small, rented single-room space that she shares with her relatives, including two of her children and her great-grandson.

Sponsorship enables elders to eat well, access healthcare and medication, and connect socially with a community that fosters a sense of belonging.
