Child Sponsorship – Help Kids In Desperate Need In Western Kenya

Lodrine Aswani Ochieng

• Date of birth: 18/07/2008
• Support needed: None thank you! i

Lodrine is the second born in the family of three girls. She is a partial orphan who lives with her maternal grandmother. The grandmother depends on farming to support the family. After the death of Lodrine’s father, the mother was inherited by another man leaving Lodrine and her elder sister under the care of their grandmother.

The family house is old, which is a cause of concern. There is a pit latrine and bathroom but neither has a door.

Her grandmother has a farm where she plants and gets enough harvest until the next season. Currently they are preparing a kitchen garden where they want to plant indigenous vegetables.

Lodrine’s favourite subject at school is Maths. She also enjoys playing jump rope and singing.

When at home she helps her grandmother with the cleaning and collecting firewood and with jobs in the kitchen.

Lodrine is a very active girl and during their Covid-19 break she actively participated in all the activities at the centre.
