Stella
Stella
Stella was abandoned by her mother at Kakamega Provincial General Hospital. The police could not find her mother, and Stella was referred to a babies’ home. No one came forward to claim her.

She enjoys playing soccer and is good at math, science, and language arts. She consistently cooperates with others and commits to doing her best and enjoys school.
