Catherine Kadogo Kitonde, orphaned at the age of two, credits the kindness of people at the Kajiado Children’s Home where she was raised, about 75 km south of Nairobi, as supporting her in every way, especially with her education. She is the first university graduate from the home, which cares for children from the Maasai community.
When I finished high school, donors from the U.S. and U.K. sent me to university and paid all my fees,” she recalls.
