Some days, the joy is so big you can feel it all the way from Kenya. Today is one of those days. We are absolutely bursting with happiness and gratitude as we celebrate a wonderful new addition to our Doyle Farm family: a brand new cobbler machine!
This incredible gift comes from the amazing people at Create Care Global, and we are just so thankful for their generosity. Their support for our work at Rafiki Mwema continues to change lives in the most beautiful ways, and this machine is a perfect example of that.
A Saint and Her New Machine
For anyone who knows our sewing project, you know the heart and soul behind it is our beloved Aunty Veronica. We lovingly call her Saint Veronica because of her incredible patience, her huge heart, and her unwavering dedication to our girls. She is a true inspiration, and her excitement over this new machine has been a joy to witness.
The moment it arrived, her face lit up. She didn’t waste a second. Aunty Veronica was at the machine immediately, her hands expertly guiding it as she got to work. It was a powerful reminder of how a single piece of equipment can bring so much hope and create so much opportunity. Seeing her joy is a feeling we wish we could bottle up and share with every single person who supports our mission.
More Than Just a Machine
This isn’t just a cobbler machine. It’s a tool for transformation. It’s a symbol of empowerment. For the young people in our sewing project, it represents a chance to learn a valuable, practical skill that will last a lifetime.
Our sewing project at Rafiki Mwema is a safe haven. It’s a place where our children can heal, learn, and grow. They learn to create beautiful things with their hands, building confidence and finding a sense of purpose. With this new machine, Aunty Veronica can now teach them the art of shoe-making and repair. This expands their skills, opening up even more possibilities for their futures.
Imagine the pride they will feel creating a pair of shoes from scratch, or the satisfaction of mending a pair for someone in the community. These are the moments that build self-worth. These are the skills that create independence and pave the way for a brighter, more secure future. This machine empowers our children to not just survive, but to truly thrive.

It allows us to provide the tools and resources needed to protect, heal, and empower children who have endured so much.

We see the impact of this kindness every single day. We see it in the smiles of our children as they learn a new skill. We see it in the pride they take in their work. And we see it in the boundless energy of Aunty Veronica, who can now share her talents in a new and exciting way.
