Beatrice

Beatrice is a graduate of Elyon High School 2007 who studied on a scholarship offered by the school. She comes from a single mother who was an alcoholic and HIV positive. Beatrice nursed her sick mother at the same time attended school 2 or 3 times a week until she sat her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams. She passed with a D+.

A few weeks back during our routine follow up visits we met Beatrice in a sorry mood. Some bad boys had ambushed her and tried to rape her but she fought in the name of Jesus. At the mention of Jesus name the five boys fled in various directions into the darkness of Ngando slums. They were carrying crude weapons including a knife which they used to cut a piece of her left ear. She now needs plastic surgery if possible. She is working in a salon as a hair dresser which enables her to pay house rent and buy food for her mother, brother and herself. The good news is the mother is now saved and has stopped drinking and prostitution. At the age of 20 Beatrice is the head of the house – pray and support Beatrice to open a salon of her own. Beatrice was a head girl and was the best photographer in a photo competition organized by KODAK group of Melbourne Australia 2006.
