A Facebook group named Fun waves was visiting Jama’s children, but they are still living in Dindini village with three children aged 9yrs, 14yrs, 16yrs.
When their story was broadcasted on the radio, we heard that they were living with their unemployed uncle, they do not have birth certificates and to get food they depend on their neighbours.
The children live in a dilapidated house, one of the 16yrs old children is not healthy. When the group went to visit the children, the group contributed money to buy food for the children, clothes, shoes and meat among other things. While their house is being built, they currently live with their aunt in Dindini location which is where we met them. – says one of the group members who were accompanied by ward councillor of ward 17
The children and aunts were very happy to see us and they expressed their gratitude and the ward councillor thanked the group because he said that he didn’t expect such an act of humanity from a Facebook group. The ward councillor and the family says they are happy to receive help from a facebook group.
