Published on September 13, 2019, gospel musician Size 8 Reborn is calling on wellwishers to support her children's home, which has seen a significant increase in the number of kids since its inception in 2016.
Size 8 and her husband started the 'God's Gift Free Daycare and Kindergarten' in Buruburu, Nairobi, in January 2016. Initially, the centre was started as a business venture, but in November of the same year, Size 8 said God moved her to turn it into a free centre for children from needy backgrounds.
Today, the centre offers free education and daycare services to over 135 kids, with Size 8 appealing for support to cater for the growing number of children.
"The number is growing daily, and the vision is now bigger than me. That's why I'm publicly speaking out for the number inakua kubwa, I didn't expect it," Size 8 said.
She added that it takes a lot of God's grace and sacrifice to keep the school running, including paying salaries to her six staff members and house rent.
"Especially luxurious things for the sake of the kids. I pay salaries every month to my staff, who are six in number, and house rent as well," Size 8 said.
