Meet Mama Ekundayo - The Woman Who Opened Her Doors To Over 500 Orphans by Palmtvng(op): 7:14am On Apr 23, 2020
Popularly known as the Mother Theresa of Africa, Mama Janet Ekundayo dedicated her life to taking care of orphans.

She projected the meaning of her name, “Ekundayo,” which is translated to mean, “(my) tears has turned to joy.”

Mama Ekundayo had five biological children of her own but that did not stop her from adopting others because of her love for children. Mama Ekundayo enjoyed the company of children and so taking care of them came naturally to her.

In 1969, Mama Ekundayo decided to dedicate the rest of her life to taking care of orphans and abandoned children. She took in the 469th child by 2007. By the year 2008; she had cared for over 500 children.

TY Bello sang about her. A rare gem indeed.

But i often wonder where she got the funds for her philanthropic activities.

If you try this today, they will call you a child peddler and that u are selling children.

Be careful guys. Let our generosity not put us into troubles.
