Joel Meshack

Joel was nineteen months old when he came to us at Neema. The whereabouts of both his parents is unknown, and he had been abandoned with his grandmother. He was malnourished, had rashes all over his body, and a bad burn on his foot. With tender loving Neema care, he has done much better, and was recently reunited with is Grandmother. Neema House does in home visits to ensure Joel’s continued progress. We are thankful for those who helped with Joel’s expenses.


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
