The Daily Struggle For Food & Water: How MCF Saved My Life | Ep.233 Rio Juma

Today’s episode is the second of four inspiring episodes we filmed in Kenya during our unforgettable adventure in July 2024. In this episode, I sit down with Rio Juma, a beneficiary of Mully Children’s Family (MCF) in Ndalani, Kenya. Rio vividly recounts his childhood in Kibera, a slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where survival was a daily challenge. He shares the harsh realities of life in the slum—relentless struggles for basic necessities like food and water, endured within cramped, crumbling homes that barely held together. These fragile shelters offered little escape from the ever-present dangers of violence, rape, theft, and the heartbreaking struggles that defined his community. Despite these challenges, Rio’s story is one of hope and resilience. At the age of 13, Rio’s life took a transformative turn when he was rescued by the MCF Founder, Dr. Charles Mulli. This opportunity not only provided him with safety and stability but also opened doors to education and personal growth. Rio shares how the nurturing environment at MCF empowered him to rise above his circumstances and embrace a life of faith, purpose, and leadership.
