Meet the family: Franco

Francis, 19, is a scholarship student at Happy House, but,  for six months he also lived in our care.
His childhood was fragmented after the death of his father and for a time he fled from Watamu when he was not accepted by his mum's new partner. 
He, and five other children, fell into the hands of some people who brought them to Watamu and placed them in a place purporting to be a children's home where they were badly under nourished and treated badly.
Happy House was asked to intervene and it became a temporary home for the kids until they could be reunited with relatives.
Francis, Franco to our family, now lives happily with his grandmother and attends our school on a free place scholarship.
He will finish school at the end of next year,Please watch the video to hear Franco talking about what Happy House means to him,
