Agnes Njogo has been helping children almost her entire life. Through difficult times she helped raise her four siblings while she was putting herself through school. She eventually became a social worker at the government-run Kianyaga Children’s Home, staying there for 25 years. In 2005, the Kenyan government forced its workers to retire. Agnes says: “My life was just beginning and there are children who still need me”. So she decided to create Peaceful Children’s Home, which isn’t government dependent. “Nobody knows exactly what the fate for the kids she has mothered would have been, but we can guess that it would not have been bright,” writes hersister Joy Haviland. “As long as there are people like Agnes and all (her) friends…the world has a great chance to reach even the most destitute. These are the future ambassadors of kindness.”
