Apili Lucy was accepted into Otino Waa Children's Village in January 2026. Lucy is a young girl whose mother is deaf and mute and unable to provide information about her father. Lucy is cared for by her elderly grandmother, who also looks after Lucy's mother and other cousins. The cousins' father is a drunkard with mental health challenges. The family faces extreme vulnerability due to limited financial resources, health challenges, and lack of adequate parental care. Due to her vulnerable situation the assessment recommended Lucy's placement in the residential program to ensure she receives proper care, access to education, and opportunities to nurture her talents in a safe and supportive environment.
