Stories of Triumph and Tragedy
Something worth reading
In 1992, Baba and Mama Jane moved from Eastleigh to our wild, quiet village and helped raise a generation.
40+ years of marriage, five children, and countless memories later, we visited on 2021 to say THANK YOU.
Their story is full of laughter, faith, and quiet wisdom: https://wp.me/p6HwbF-1Pj

Three years. Nine families. A million memories.
We went back in 2021. Not just to visit, but to honour the parents and teachers who raised us.
We brought gifts, but left with something far more valuable: wisdom, laughter, tears, and stories that shaped us.
They survived COVID, retirement, loss, and change. Yet their faith, strength, and love remain intact. 🧓🏽❤️
Be wise. You won’t be young forever. Visit while they’re still here.

She survived a stroke. She lost her husband.

Baba Macharia quit his job, set up a cabbage stall in Mombasa, and never looked back.
He built his life from that singular action.
In March 2021, our village saluted him and his wife for 40+ years of friendship and raising a generation.
