A nameless boy left on the streets
To fend for himself no food to eat
A helpless child no roof overhead
Huddled in a doorway used as a bed.

Street children in this far away land
Until Kate offered them her hand
To live in a house with a bed at night
To give them a chance to read and write.

These street children are fortunate to have found
A place to live warm and sound
To help these children was a must
They were Kate’s inspiration for The Kindu Trust.
