LILIAN NDARO (SUBUKIA)For more than 10 years now, 82 year old Lilian Ndaro opened her very humble home in Subukia for orphans, vulnerable and needy children. Many lives have been transformed through the hands of Lilian. Despite the fact that she is elderly, has health challenges and doesn’t have any source of income and depends on her family members and well wishers to support her, Lilian has never given up on brightening the lives of the young ones.

ELIZABETH JEROTICH KIPSANGElizabeth Jerotich Kipsang has done a lot in a place where women are considered in little regard. When one of her neighbours was about to be killed by her violent husband, Elizabeth was the only person who had the courage to highly risk her life and go to that home and save the life of the wife. Today, that lady is alive because of the exceptional courage of Elizabeth.
