SUNDAY MOTIVATION || WOMAN WHO COOKED STONES TO HUNGRY CHILDREN GETS A SIX-BEDROOMED HOUSE

Earlier this year, just after corona rocked our mother land Kenya, a woman by the name Penninah from Mombasa county cooked stones to trick her 8 children that there was something to eat. Her tough situation touched all Kenyans who donated and helped her get a six-bedroomed house worth a little over a million shillings in Mshomoroni, Mombasa.

While talking to TUKO Penina said the journey was not easy, but she thanked everyone who shared her plight on social media and came through for her.

“It is a dream come true, I cannot wake up from it. I have never thought that Kenyans can be this generous after being a blessing to me and my children,”

Penninah had been a widow after her husband fell victim to armed robberies in 2019. It is then that the worldly troubles became tougher to bear. After exhausting all available avenues of providing for her kids, she resorted to boiling stones just to reassure them that there was something cooking.

“There was a first committee led by a politician, however, it had to be disbanded since there was no positive progress. I thank the second committee formed under Jamleck Mbuba, the deputy county commissioner in Kisauni which made this dream come true,”

Penninah confessed if it were not for Kenyans who were God sent, all this would not have been possible. Earlier reports saw politicians come to her aid but she recently confirmed to TUKO that no politician helped her get out of the miserable situation. She plans to rent out three rooms and take up the other three with her children.
