A Kericho mother of seven who lost her two children due to malnutrition and poverty-related challenges is appealing to well-wishers to help mitigate the challenges.
Maureen Tonui, 24, who is married to a deaf and dumb man who ekes out a living through herding other people's livestock, lives in a mabati-roofed, mud-walled house in Kapsembe village in Bechulelat sub-location in Ainamoi sub-county within Kericho.
Maureen gave birth to triplets last year on 28 November, but one of the triplets, a girl, died on 2 May this year while her second-born child, a boy aged seven years, passed on 6 May 2025.
Maureen cannot make ends meet for herself and her other surviving children.
