The year 2020 was a uniquely difficult one for many people due to the myriad effects of Covid-19, and for us at Malaika, it took four loved ones. During the lockdown, our community center lost three girls who were beautiful inside and out- Leya Kapemba, Noella Kasongo and Esther Annie-before also losing their sports teacher Paul Kyungu, shortly thereafter.
In their memory, which we honor here, we have planted trees on Malaika’s campus so as not to forget them while grow something beautiful that will last for many years to come.
