Checkers break after school today with baba Castro, our Majengo gardener! Though his primary duty may be gardening, playing and mentoring the Majengo kids is just as important!
.
Our Guardianship Program ensures each child is mentored and monitored by a mama or baba at Majengo. This helps the children receive quality and individualized care. 😄😜👨‍👦👩‍👧
