Some of these children are very young to go to waste while their grandparents are very old and need our support,” said Swaleh.The chairperson said that the government is committed to better the future of their children in the country and Redcross group will continue supporting them in many ways. According to her many are looking for ways to get help and live without much stress and poverty which they are always associated with."With the little money they received from the government we can still help and fulfill the joy of their kids,” she said.These parents cry to have been in abject poverty for long and the government's financial help will play a big role in positively transforming their lives and those of the orphans they live with.*Is there a newsworthy accident, incident or event happening in Garissa County that you want Hivisasa to cover?
