About

Willie is a very outgoing and friendly young man who came to us with his little brother, Richard. Both parents had died, leaving them as orphans to beg on the streets. Since coming to Maison de Lumiere, Willie always has had a big smile on his face. His favorite past time is playing soccer and he dreams of playing professionally one day. Willie loves to be very helpful around the house and regularly cooks dinner for the boys, which the boys really enjoy. Willie is also quite good at speaking English and loves to interact with visiting missions team members and our American missionaries. Please keep Willie in your prayers as he continues to grow in the grace and love of Jesus.

    Emmaculate Mueni

    Kenya

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
