Jennifer

Jennifer is regal, stately and beautiful. She's the principal of the school at Madoya. She's poised and dignified. A far cry from her upbringing in the slums. Jennifer is the oldest of 10 children born and raised in Mathare Valley slums.

Madoya School Children ~ full of curiosity and potential

Playful, caring companions

In her passionate pursuit to overcome the odds and dedicate her life to providing educational opportunities for other children, she has endured the loss of two siblings and the loss of her husband.


She left the slums 12 years ago to join MOHI. She is raising her three children, has taken in her deceased sister's children, is living with HIV and is a daily example of hope for the children and families she serves. It is not easy, yet Jennifer knows her life is purposeful and gives her all to enrich the lives of others.

She is generous, servant-hearted, an inspiration.
