Mother to the motherless - Mama Zipporah

Following the life and doings of Mama Zipporah, a modern day saint, Mother to the Motherless is the memoir of an incredible woman's inspiring true story of rising
from the depths of abuse and poverty to found one of the most successful
children's shelters in Kenya.

The beginnings of Mama
Zipporah's life were filled with violence and hardship, as the
challenges of an abusive father and an uncaring society left Mama and
her mother virtually without options. Without the support of the local
church in those early days, Mama's life could have continued down this
dark path; as it was, she and her mother had barely enough to get by.
Mama grew to despise poverty and everything that it represented: the
selfishness and greed of the wealthy, and the shocking effects it had on
the poor.

Devoting her life to eradicating poverty while refusing to
accept it as simply a fact of life, Mama would come to establish the
Huruma Children's Home in Kenya, a children's shelter that continues to
perform the same function as the church did in Mama's youth: protecting
the helpless children and teaching them to make the world a better
place.
