Suzy Kassem, in her book: Rise Up and Salute the Sun says that: "God's religion is love and the light of love sees no walls. Anybody who unconditionally loves another human being for the goodness of their heart and nothing more is already on the right side of God." 

"True honour is being truthful, humble, selfless and compassionate towards all living creatures. Those filled with discrimination, prejudice, hatred, egotism, and pride stand the furthest away from God."

 These words clearly illustrates that to be on God's lane, you are obliged to love others selflessly.

In the outskirts of Nakuru County, one woman out of a burden of loving children, has decided to live her purpose and is doing what many would give a second thought in most circumstances. 

Margaret Mwangi, founder of Silverbell Home in Lanet estate, is a woman with a big heart. 

In 2004, Mrs Mwangi was left with a burden for children after the man she was working for in World Mission organization left Kenya never to return back.

At the organisation, they would teach kids Bible memory verses and offer them gifts later to the ones who would remember. 

That was how Mrs Mwangi's interaction with children began. "I'm a graduate of Joy Institute in Nandi, where I studied being a social worker. I attended Nyakiambi Secondary School and I have a passion for children," she introduced herself during the interview with this writer in her office.

Mrs Mwangi opened up on how it has been since she decided to follow her heart.

 "I started this home as a private nursery school since I thought that was how best I could spend my time with kids. Later, in 2008, I had a change of heart and decided to transform the school into a children's home-cum-school where I wouldn't charge any fee since I realised most of the residents were financially challenged. As a result, I started with eight kids whom I would cater for all their needs. It was not easy," she said.

 As years went by, the number rose from 24 to 50 and currently the home has 100 children.

"Everyday, I would come here to clean and teach the children. At lunchtime, I would go to a local hotel, buy food and at times take on credit for these kids," she added.

Despite the difficulties, the positive-thinker as she described herself, never relented on her mission, as it gave her peace of mind and heart. 

Mrs Mwangi has eight employees who more than less are basically doing volunteering since what they are earning can't be equated to the amount of work and responsibilities on their shoulders. 

The mother of two is an avid reader and her favourite author is Warren Buffett. During her free time, she loves having fun with her family and reading. 

Her husband is a pastor at a local church. Her vision is to build an orphanage where children can be able to sleep and stay. 

Currently, the children usually go back to their guardians every evening. Some are total orphans while others are destitute kids. 

Mrs Mwangi advises other women and girls to take a step no matter how small it is and be the change they would want to see.

"Sitting down and thinking won't help. Don't look at the challenges before you engage into any activity,just try first. In this life it is not about what you get but what you give," she said.

Her driving quote is: "Success is not measured by how much you have accumulated but by the level of impact you've had on other people's lives."
