History

After we have found out that the mother of Micky and Juma is still alive, we arranged a meeting with her concerning the birth certificates of her sons. Since the meeting took place at the home of their grandmother, Micky and Juma as well as Mwanajuma and Ibrahim (their mothers were sisters) joined us. At their grandmothers’ place we got to know Faima, the younger sister of Micky and Juma, who lived in miserable circumstances with her grandparents in the bush at that time. Her grandmother is partly paralyzed and there are even more children to be taken care off.

When Mwanajuma was about to leave (she took care of Faima in the past), Faima was heavily crying, and her mother decided to take her with her. There we went to see her a few days later and noted immediately that Faima does not look well.  She was very skinny and her eyes were yellow. Her mother by contrast wears expensive clothes and has also an expensive mobile phone. However, lives in poor circumstances, and we think about prostitution or drugs, since she works only a few hours per week in a home. Fear that she wants to prostitute Faima. Therefore, to protect her and to make it possible that she can grow up together with her brothers, we decided on 19 May 2001 to admit her in Nice View.

Career

August 2011: Faima is very happy to be with her sister and three brothers. For her they are one family and she does not distinguish between her brothers and her cousins. Her grandmother died in the meantime, but her mother visited her end of July. Faima is very lively and affectionate.
