Meet The Mother Who Boiled Stones For Her 8 Children Due To Hunger

by

The unwanted impacts of the novel coronavirus is not only shutdown of business but hunger which may be a global canker in a long term.

One mother in Mombasa County was forced to boil stones for her children after enduring days of hunger during the coronavirus pandemic.

Peninah Kitao, a widow, said that she boiled the stones to cheat her children that food was cooking for them to fall asleep. She blames the tough economic times for the troubles she is going through right now.

She was widowed after thieves attacked and killed her husband in 2019 when she was two months pregnant with her last child. This forced her to start washing clothes for a living but things changed when the first case of the coronavirus was announced in the country.

Peninah’s neighbour, Prisca Nyakaragio said she heard cries in her neighbour’s house and rushed to check on the matter. This is when she found that Peninah had boiled stones.

…After hearing cries, I rushed to my neighbour’s house and found her seated. I found a cooking pot on the ground covered but it had no food and asked them if they had eaten, to which she answered no and told me that her children are crying due to hunger.

She informed me that on Tuesday, April 28, she was forced to boil stones to try and trick her children that food was cooking in order for them to fall asleep.

Her story was highlighted in a local news broadcast on Wednesday evening that touched many viewers.

  1. We’re a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme
    in our community. Your website provided us with valuable info to
    work on. You have done an impressive job and our entire community

  3. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
    find this topic to be really something that I think I would
    never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for
    me. I’m looking forward for your next post,
    I will try to get the hang of it!

  5. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance”
    between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a superb job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer.
    Outstanding Blog!
