Before joining Otino Waa, Irene was living with her grandmother after the recent passing of her mother, who left behind four children, including a 3-month-old baby. Her grandmother, who is doing her best to care for them, has taken on the responsibility of raising the children, while Ireneâs father remains alive but very sick and weak. Irene is incredibly excited to join Otino Waa, where her needs can be met in a safe, supportive, and loving environment. In class, her favorite subject is English, and outside of school, she loves to play and enjoys skipping with her friends. Irene dreams of becoming a nurse in the future.
