Über den Autor

The Mully Children's Family ministry was founded in Kenya in 1989 by Dr Ev Charles and Esther Mulli as a response to the desperate needs of street-children, abandoned children and HIV/AIDS orphans. Through their work, more than 10,000 children have been successfully rehabilitated and reintegrated into society. At the moment there are more than 2,450 children between the ages of 1 week to 24 years old being supported in a number of residential and community-based care projects. Both Charles and Esther have been the recipients of numerous international awards for their work including the Robert W. Pierce award from World Vision in 1999, the Angel of Hope award in 2002 from World Vision International in Canada, the Head of State Commendation from His excellency the Honourable Mwai Kibaki, president and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Kenya in 2009, plus many other notable awards.
