Evaline Kambura

Born in 1953, Evaline Kambura was the eldest of three children in her family. Her parents, who had no formal education, did not encourage her to pursue schooling. Instead, she spent her childhood helping her mother with household chores. Unfortunately, her mother passed away, leaving Evaline to take on the responsibility of raising her younger siblings despite being just a child herself.

Her father, a watchman, did his best to support the family with his meager earnings, giving Evaline whatever little he could to buy food. However, as the children grew, his salary was no longer enough to sustain them. To help, Evaline took on work as a housemelp, determined to keep her family from going hungry.

Later, she married a tobacco seller, and they were blessed with three children. But fate was unkind—her husband fell ill and passed away, leaving Evaline alone to raise their children. Struggling became a way of life, but she remained resilient, taking on househelp jobs to provide for her family.

Then, tragedy struck again. One day, she slipped and broke her right hand, leaving her unable to work. With no income, she lost everything and became homeless, forced to live on the streets. In her desperation, she became entangled with strangers in Isiolo Town, trying to survive. As a result, she contracted a deadly disease, adding another painful twist to her already difficult life.

Faced with illness, hunger, and loneliness, Evaline turned to God, praying for strength. She found the will to keep going, even as old age crept in. Her grown children, now struggling with their own lives, were unable to support her. She was left alone in a small wooden house offered to her by a kind well-wisher in Kachewa Village.

Her plight caught the attention of the area Chief, who referred her case to Mama Ibado Charity. After assessing her dire situation, she was enrolled in the Seniors Feeding Program. Since then, she has received monthly food rations that have transformed her life. The nourishment has not only improved her health but also helped her manage the heavy medication she takes daily. Most importantly, she no longer has to beg in town for food.

But Evaline still needs your help. With no income or family support, she depends entirely on the kindness of well-wishers. Your donation can ensure she continues to receive food and medical care, allowing her to live her remaining years with dignity and hope.
