A word from the founder
"I took good care of my son Louis Marie until he passed in 2017. His life did not make me lose heart — it heartened the empathy to strive for the welfare of other children."
A mother of a child born with mental disability, our founder created Wikwiheba Mwana in 2006 — a place in remote Ngarama where vulnerable rural families can find care, hope and partnership.
