Stella is 10 years old and has two siblings and they live with their grandmother, Grace.
Their mother passed away last year and the father previously to this. Their grandfather – Grandma Grace’s husband – was brutally beheaded by thugs some years before.
Grace has to cook and sell beans at the side of the road in order for them to afford to eat at all. They slept on torn up thin bits of a mattress on the floor.

During the lockdown period my two sons and I wanted to do something to help our friend, Evanson, in Kenya. We knew that life was tough in the slums in Nairobi but we knew that in lockdown it was going to be even harder. The boys decided to sell homemade lemonade and cookies, and some homemade keyring and bookmarks, at a stall outside our house, hoping that walkers in the hills nearby and local friends would come and support us.
