The Dolfie Korando Faith Foundation was founded by Mama Dolfine. She was a government-employed teacher for 20 years until she lost her 14 and 27 year old sons in 1996 within just one year. This very traumatizing experience brought her to depression followed by a premature retirement.
As she was staying at home, she started taking care of the first five orphans Miskela, Lucy, Isiah, Brenda and Kennedy; that gave a new meaning to her life. More of them started coming, finding shelter and care with her, but also food and financial support to be send to public school.
In 2006 she opened her own non-formal school to accommodate even more children and reduce the increasing cost of school fees. Her husband Patrick became the headteacher of the new school and supported her greatly throughout the years.
Then in 2014 she had to handle another huge loss when her husband Patrick passed away.
Though life left it’s scars, it didn’t stop her. And today, at 72 years old, she keeps on pushing through challenges for those children in need, and has touched well over 1000 lives already.
