From Slum to Spoken Word | Juma’s Incredible Journey

 

Some voices rise from adversity to inspire the world. Juma’s journey is one of resilience, talent, and transformation—a testament to how hope and opportunity can change a life forever.

A Childhood in Kibera Slum

Juma’s early years were spent in Kibera, one of the largest slums in Africa. His family moved constantly, as his mother searched for work, struggling to provide for her children.

🏚️ No stable home – Every move meant starting over.
📚 No education – School was an impossible dream.
🌧️ No shelter from hardship – When it rained, their mud house would leak so badly that sleep was impossible.

It was a life of uncertainty, poverty, and struggle—until one day, everything changed.

A New Beginning at Mully Children’s Family

Juma met someone who knew about MCF, and his life took a new path. He was welcomed into a home where he was given love, education, and the freedom to dream.
