Today we want to share a bit of Pauline's remarkable journey with you.
Pauline Njeri's story begins on February 26th, 1992, in Githabai, Kinangop, Nyandarua County. Born to Hellen Nyambura, Pauline grew up in a modest household with two siblings.
She embarked on her academic journey at Githabai Primary School in 1998, where she excelled despite facing financial hurdles. Unfortunately, her education was cut short after completing grade 8 due to the inability to afford secondary school fees. Undeterred, Pauline returned home to support her mother on their family farm and care for her youngest sister.
In 2010, her family's dynamics shifted when her mother married John Mwangi and relocated to Kijabe, Kiambogo. Pauline remained in Kinangop under her aunt's care, but continued to visit her mother regularly. It was during these visits that she crossed paths with Earnest Kinyanjui, whom she married in 2014.
Despite the joy of starting a family, Pauline faced challenges in her marriage and eventually separated from Earnest in 2019 due to domestic violence and abuse. Finding herself at a crossroads, Pauline sought solace and purpose in her interactions with the children and staff members of Shepherd’s Little Lambs, located near her former residence.
Recognizing her warmth, dedication Pauline seamlessly transitioned into a role as a cook at Little Lambs. Her commitment to serving others has since made her an valuable member of the team, enriching the lives of children and staff alike.
