On the night of January 23, 2012, a young man named Anthony Omari was living at the Faraja Children’s Home in Ngong, Kenya. He took care of 37 orphaned children there, treating them like his own family.

 

That night, Anthony suddenly woke up and saw intruders breaking into the home with machetes. He quickly understood that the children were in risk. He fought the attackers and managed to push them outside to protect the children.

 

But as he turned back to check on the kids, he was hit on the head with a machete. Even though he was badly injured and bleeding, he did not give up. He kept fighting and then locked the door to keep the children safe. Only after making sure everyone was protected did he lose consciousness.

 

He survived the attack with a deep scar on his face. Later, his story was shared online by a student who wanted help to rebuild the home’s fence. People from many countries donated money to support him.

 

With the help he received, the orphanage became safer. Years later, Anthony studied engineering, started his own company, and still visits the children regularly to care for them.
