Isa's story is deeply moving and reflects the many challenges faced by children who are neglected by their parents.  While both of his parents are alive, his father has not been present in his life and offers no financial support for Isa and his sister. His mother has struggled to meet their basic needs leading to periods of hunger, missed school days, and general instability. There were times when Isa and his sister spent nights alone without adult supervision, exposing them to potential harm and deepening their sense of vulnerability. Isa just recently attempted to travel alone to Mombasa in a desperate search for his father. He was found and rescued 68 miles from his home in Nairobi. He is now in a safe and nurturing environment, with supportive parents and the opportunity to thrive through education.
