A 60-year-old Kasarani woman who runs a daycare centre has been left carrying the full burden of raising an abandoned toddler for nine months after the child's mother disappeared without a trace.
Julian Matheka's ordeal began in February when a woman walked into her daycare, handed over a phone number and promised to return with a photocopy of her national identification card. She never came back.
The toddler arrived with more than just uncertainty about his future. He was born with a complication involving his umbilical cord, a condition that causes him pain, particularly at night, and requires frequent clinical check-ups and a specific nutritional supplement.

She reported the matter to the police and informed the local chief, but no meaningful follow-up has come. In the meantime, Julian took it upon herself to give the boy a name and has been his sole caregiver ever since.
