Veronica is the youngest in the family, she has two siblings. She comes from Likii slum very close to Nanyuki town, where the children and their grandmother used to live in one room. The mother left the children in grandmother‘s care. The grandmother was old and had no permanent job. Veronica and her older sister were forced to beg for money and food. They lived in a very dangerous slum, so the girls were constantly at risk of rape. The case reached the area government administrator, who visited the family and accessed their situation. He later reported it to the children officer, who brought the case to OMDC and our team enrolled Veronica in the sponsorship program.
