Anthony's Story

Anthony knows what it means to lose almost everything at a young age. After losing both of his parents, he found himself living on the streets of Nairobi. Life became a daily struggle.

In November 2021 Bishop Bonface wrote to Michelle and Brad about children at Glorious who knew no other home and no other parents. Glorious had become their home.

Neema was very young when her mother died in the night. In the morning she went out to play, believing her mother was asleep. When she grew hungry, the only place she knew to go for food was Glorious. She came crying, and she was fed. The next morning she came again and this time the staff walked back with her and found that her mother had already gone.

Neema is at Glorious now. She has no mother and no father she has ever known, and this school is her home. Other children Bishop Bonface met on the streets years ago — small and hungry then — are healthy young people finishing school today.
