Miriam

A new baby came to Neema around dinner time on Tuesday, March 5, 2025.  . She is Maasai – her mama is 15 years old, maybe younger and went into psychosis after the baby was born. The village knew where to turn for help. They brought her to Neema Village so that we could care for her until hopefully she can return to her mama. Her name is Mariam. She is one month old and weighs 2.3 kg


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.
