Grace Nduku was squatting on Del Monte land with her sister and grandmother when they returned to their home one day to find it bulldozed. Through her sponsorship, she and her family were provided with a 3/4 acre land and began developing in 2009. Today it looks like this:

The Nduku family invited us visitors into their home which houses the 18-year-old Grace, her grandmother, her sister, her two nieces and her 2-year-old son Gottfried:

Grace attended Ndula Primary School before the birth of her son in October 2014 and she has ambitions of returning to school to become a teacher. She enjoys reading stories and hopes to install electricity in her home along with a water tank.

Three times a day Grace must visit a nearby water hole to obtain water for her family:

Grace has a share in a local plantation and will begin growing corn. When the Nduku family arrived on their land there were no other developments nearby yet today there are over four homes within sight.
