KENYAN TEAM
KENYAN TEAM
The St Jerome’s Centre would not be possible without our fantastic Kenyan team, who work tirelessly to ensure the home runs as it should. We are passionate about the wellbeing of our staff and each member receives a fair wage, ensuring that they in turn can care for their families.
Manager
The Aunties
The ‘Aunties’ are the children’s main caregivers, you name it they do it. From home cooking, washing clothes and keeping the centre tidy. The Aunties have also obtained certificates in Child Abuse Rights and Protection Management, HIV/ AIDs Management and Rape Management. They provide invaluable guidance, love and support to all of the children at the St Jerome’s Centre.
Grace has been with us since we opened in 2012. Her characteristic laugh can always be heard throughout St Jerome’s which led to her nick name, ‘the smiling machine’.
Mary joined us in 2016, she has three children of her own and says that her favourite pastime is looking after children, so she has the best job in the world!
Phyllis is described as polite and hardworking by everyone at the home and loves listening to Gospel music in her spare time.
Security Staff
A safe and secure home is vital, and whilst incidents are a rarity, break-ins and violence are a risk we take seriously. Our 2 nightguards, Musa and Elijah, are originally from the Maassai and have worked with us at St Jerome’s since 2013. They are responsible for maintaining security at the home and ensuring the gate is closed at 7pm to allow a safe nights sleep for our children and Aunties. When not on duty, they enjoy travelling around Kenya, listening to music and watching movies.
