Deputy President William Ruto and his wife Rachel have been a source of love and support for many, including their adopted daughter Nadia Jerono.
According to reports, Nadia was adopted in 2015, two years after she was found buried with parts of her body decomposing.
She was later transferred to Madre Ippolita Children’s Home in Machakos for specialized treatment and adoption.
It is worth noting that Nadia was named after Ruto's mother, Cherono.
Speaking about the adoption, Ruto said, "I’ve named her Cherono after my mother and made her part of my family," in a heartwarming statement.
Today, Nadia is one of the six children in the Ruto family, which includes Nick Ruto, June Ruto, Stephanie Ruto, Charlene Chelagat Ruto, and George Kimutai Ruto.
