Carol’s mother died of AIDS in 2006 leaving her under the custody of her grandmother who was sick. She joined HOREC in 2009 after her grandmother died and her other relatives could not care for her. She was brought to HOREC by a friend of Christine’s. She was a neighbor to the Maina’s in Nyeri. Carol is the second born in a family of three; she has one sister and one brother.

Carol stays at a boarding school most of the year and returns to HOREC on school breaks. Benedita’s (HOREC’s cook) son, Michael, also attends the same boarding school.
