Stella's Story
LOVE IN ACTION is just one way to describe Stella, who was the house mother at Kipchamgaa since it's conception when it was an old 4 bedroom cottage housing 45 children, Stella and her 2 children.
In 1997 Stella a young woman with 2 children discovered her husband had HIV.
When Stella's husband died her test results came back clear and she didn't know how but she just knew she would make it through, she trusted in herself, she said repeatedly 'I trusted and I knew it.'
She decided she wanted to be a mother to the motherless children, not a helper, or volunteer, but a mother.
She was offered a job by a local pastor to be the house mother at a home he was setting up, which is now known as Kipchamgaa and so it is she became a mother to many, many motherless children for over 20 years.
