In October, former street boy Joseph Karanja married Rebecca
Joseph was orphaned at the age of seven. His grandmother tried to care for him but was too poor to cope with an extra mouth to feed, so Joseph went to live on the streets of Naivasha.
He was one of the first boys to be offered a place at the newly-opened Sunshine Home.
He settled in well, and we then helped him secure a place at Naivasha Polytechnic to learn to be a tailor.
Joseph showed great skill, and, on completion of his course, was taken on by the Ukweli school uniform shop as a full-time employee.
Joseph continued to do well and has since been promoted - he can turn a metre of cloth into a shirt in
less than forty minutes!
His new wife Rebecca is also an orphan, and Joseph's church turned out in force to wish the couple well in their marriage. Joseph is a popular member of the church and signs in the choir.
