Adopting a kid requires one to not only have money but also have a big heart and a soft spot for children, traits that only few possess.

In this article, we feature some of the Kenya’s most selfless politicians/celebrities who have adopted destitute kids who are transforming to be successful men and women.

Mike Sonko

In 2014, a sad story of two young kids Gift and Satrine Osinya hit the headlines. This was after their mother died of wounds obtained in an Alshabaab attack and Satrine left with a bullet logged in his head. The former Nairobi governor adopted them and has catered for them since then.

Sonko recently celebrated the tenth birthday of his adopted son Satrine Osinya.

Sonko took a trip down memory lane in his birthday message, recalling how, after their mother was killed in the 2014 Likoni tragedy, he welcomed baby Satrine and his sibling Gift Osinya into his family.

“You came into our family 8 years ago as an angel and a blessing and since then, we felt that our family had become complete. You’re a source of happiness to us and we always feel blessed and lucky having you around healthy and happy despite of what happened to you on the 22nd March-2014 when you lost your lovely mum to a terror attack and escaped with a life-threatening injury,” Sonko said in part.

“We thank God for healing and protecting you and your elder brother who rescued you from a hail of bullets which were being sprayed by the terrorists inside the church.

“As you turn 10 today, I want to wish you a happy birthday baby Satrine Osinya. Remember I love you so much and I want the best for you as you grow older,” Sonko stated.

William Ruto
