Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has shared a heartwarming update on the elderly woman he rescued from the streets, highlighting her recovery and current well-being.
In a statement on Monday, February 16, 2026, Mosiria recounted finding the elderly woman weak and struggling to afford basic necessities, including medication and food, after she had been neglected by her family.
He immediately took her to the hospital for treatment and later helped her settle into a home for the elderly, where she could recover safely and with dignity.
“Today, I visited her to check on her progress and spent time encouraging her. I also donated maize flour to support the other elderly residents, which will help sustain them for about two weeks. It brought me so much joy to see her happy, safe, and at peace and most importantly, she told me she no longer wishes to return to the streets.”
Mosiria added that he plans to continue visiting the elderly, not only to provide material support but also to offer love, dignity, and appreciation, emphasising that no one deserves to feel forgotten.
This comes shortly after Mosiria highlighted the plight of the boy child, following a heartwarming reunion with eight children he rescued from the streets.
Mosiria visited the 8 boys currently residing in a children’s home and provided an update on their progress, along with photos from the reunion.
He also donated food items to support the home in providing for the children residing there.
“I visited the 8 young, vulnerable boys I had rescued from the streets of Nairobi who are now living safely in a children’s home and donated 750 kg of maize flour to support their welfare,” Mosiria said.
He expressed his joy at seeing the once-vulnerable boys growing up in a secure environment and living with dignity, away from the dangers they were constantly exposed to on the streets.
“Seeing them secure, cared for, and living with dignity reminds me why we must never give up on our vulnerable children,” he added.
He noted that most of the street children he encounters at night are boys and asked where the girls go at nightfall.
“But one question continues to disturb my mind: why is it that the majority of street families we see at night are boys? Where do the girl child street families go when darkness falls? This is a question I am yet to find a clear answer to.”
“As a society, we have strongly empowered the girl child, which is good and necessary, but in the process, it feels like we may have completely forgotten the boy child. Today, our streets are increasingly filled with lonely, vulnerable boys who lack protection, guidance, and opportunity,” he added.
