Biography: general

Following the life and doings of Mama Zipporah, a modern day saint, Mother to the Motherless is the memoir of an incredible woman's inspiring true story of rising

from the depths of abuse and poverty to found one of the most successful

children's shelters in Kenya.

The beginnings of Mama

Zipporah's life were filled with violence and hardship, as the

challenges of an abusive father and an uncaring society left Mama and

her mother virtually without options. Without the support of the local

church in those early days, Mama's life could have continued down this

dark path; as it was, she and her mother had barely enough to get by.

Mama grew to despise poverty and everything that it represented- the

selfishness and greed of the wealthy, and the shocking effects it had on

the poor.

Devoting her life to eradicating poverty while refusing to

accept it as simply a fact of life, Mama would come to establish the

Huruma Children's Home in Kenya, a children's shelter that continues to

perform the same function as the church did in Mama's youth- protecting

the helpless children and teaching them to make the world a better

place.
