Maria Turo

Mariam Turo, a 67-year-old native of Isiolo, has faced a life filled with challenges that have tested her resilience. Once a proud mother of six, she has endured the heartbreak of losing some of her children, while others strive to make a living amidst their own struggles. Mariam is married to an equally elderly husband, who, like her, has no source of income. Together, they live in Ola Odha village, where they rent a modest house that serves as a fragile haven for their large family, which includes several grandchildren.

A few years ago, their lives took a devastating turn when a catastrophic flood destroyed their home. With nowhere to go, Mariam and her family were left homeless, forced to rely on the kindness of relatives and friends for temporary shelter. This displacement led to frequent moves, creating a sense of instability and uncertainty. Eventually, they found a rented home where they could settle, but the financial burden remains overwhelming.

To add to her struggles, Mariam suffers from arthritis, a condition that severely limits her mobility and ability to perform daily tasks. Despite these hardships, Mariam remains hopeful and grateful for the unwavering support she receives from Mama Ibado Charity.

Mama Ibado Charity has become a lifeline for Mariam and her family. Through their feeding program, she receives essential food rations. These provisions have been a beacon of hope, easing the heavy burden of daily survival.

Mariam acknowledges the immense impact of Mama Ibado Charity in her life. "Without their support," she says, "we would have no one to turn to." However, the challenges of her family’s living situation persist.
