Here we have some real stories from the young girls we have supported, so that you may see the importance of our work in Nakuru. Names have been changed for anonymity reasons so the girls are as safe as possible. We have regular updates on some of the girls and the work we do on our blogs page.
*Fiona
*Fiona also joined our family at the age of just 12 in 2021. After she was raped and abused by her step-brother. *Fiona is one of life’s do-ers and loves to play with our babies and little ones. In August 2021 she delivered a beautiful baby girl, *Corrie, who really is the apple of her mummy’s eye. *Fiona returned to school in 2022, and is loving being a proactive part of the school community. Little *Corrie is also at school now, and is such a happy and lively little girl who loves life!
*Caryn
*Caryn joined us early in 2022. She became a mummy at just 12 years, to little *Elias. *Caryn’s story is a hard one to hear. She grew up in a remote area where it is much the norm for a young girl to be given to an older man in marriage. When she realised she was pregnant *Caryn ran away from home and gave birth, all alone, in a nearby forest. She ran away again when she learnt that she was being given to an elderly man in marriage and walked for 2 whole days with her newborn son to reach a police post. Today, *Caryn is a thriving young mummy, who has wonderful tailoring skills having completed tailoring school, and she is currently on a new vocational programme.
* Sally
*Sally arrived at The Beehive in late 2024, a tiny 13 year old with intellectual disabilities. She delivered baby *Neddy a couple of months after arriving, and it soon became clear that she was going to need a lot of help in her mothering skills. *Neddy did not thrive initially, and very soon a 24 hour care plan was in place with staff feeding and caring for him, along with his mummy. *Neddy has continued to have health issues which means that he he also been developmentally delayed, but he is thriving well. And *Sally reurned to school, where she absolutely loves being a part of the girl’s football team!
* Ellie
*Ellie came to us in 2025, along with a younger sister, having suffered at the hands of her father for several years. She was heavily pregnant when she arrived and delivered a precious baby girl in September of 2025. *Ellie is back at school, and really embracing the opportunities that The Beehive offers to her. Baby *Eve has a number of serious chronic medical conditions for which she is under treatment, and we all recognise that had *Ellie and *Eve not been under the care of The Beehive, life could have turned out very different for them both.
*Cherry
*Cherry is mummy to little *Annie. They came to us early in 2026, from a remote village and a home that was a mud floor, 4 mud walls, and nothing else. *Cherry has learning difficulties and her age is unknown: she a tiny girl, who loves to laugh at everything! *Annie is a very smily and happy baby as a result. *Cherry will not join school or a vocational course due to her intellectual disability but she is more than happy at home with all the babies and little ones. And it is hoped that in the coming months she will be able to return to her mother, with a lot of support and assistance from The Beehive.
