Akothee Offers to Support Orphaned Children After Heartbreaking Photo Goes Viral
Musician and entrepreneur Esther Akoth, famously known as Akothee, has pledged to help four orphaned children whose heartbreaking photo standing next to their deceased parent’s coffin has touched hearts online.
The image, set in a rural area, shows the children standing beside a wooden casket surrounded by mourners. Their somber faces and worn clothing reflect their vulnerability and dire circumstances.
“My heart is broken by the sight of these children. Does anyone have the full story or details on how we can assist?” Akothee wrote on her social media platforms.
Akothee Commits to Educating the Children
Moved by their plight, Akothee has promised to provide free education for the children at her institution, the Akothee Foundation Academy. She also pledged to meet their essential needs, including food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and emotional support.
“Although my school is not yet a boarding facility, I am ready to accommodate them if they have a surviving guardian or family member who can stay with them. I will provide everything they need to ensure they grow up in a loving and stable environment,” Akothee stated.
The Importance of Guardianship
Akothee emphasized the need for the children to remain under the care of a family member or guardian to ensure their safety and well-being.
“It is crucial that they are accompanied by a family member. The world can be cruel, but together, we can create positive change. May God bless everyone who helps touch these young hearts,” she wrote, urging others to join her efforts.
Akothee’s gesture has sparked widespread admiration, with many of her followers praising her commitment to uplifting vulnerable children. Her act of kindness is a reminder of the power of compassion and the difference individuals can make in the lives of others.
