The Daily Struggle For Food & Water: How MCF Saved My Life | Ep.233 Rio Juma

OnTheStacks with Bill Corcoran Jr.

Today’s episode is the second of four inspiring episodes we filmed in Kenya during our unforgettable adventure in July 2024. In this episode, I sit down with Rio Juma, a beneficiary of Mully Children’s Family (MCF) in Ndalani, Kenya. Rio vividly recounts his childhood in Kibera, a slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where survival was a daily challenge. He shares the harsh realities of life in the slum—relentless struggles for basic necessities like food and water, endured within cramped, crumbling homes that barely held together. These fragile shelters offered little escape from the ever-present dangers of violence, rape, theft, and the heartbreaking struggles that defined his community. Despite these challenges, Rio’s story is one of hope and resilience. At the age of 13, Rio’s life took a transformative turn when he was rescued by the MCF Founder, Dr. Charles Mulli. This opportunity not only provided him with safety and stability but also opened doors to education and personal growth. Rio shares how the nurturing environment at MCF empowered him to rise above his circumstances and embrace a life of faith, purpose, and leadership. Thank you to the incredible sponsors who helped make it possible for us to film this episode in Kenya: Jonathans Restaurant, Royal Bakery, Frozen Cow, Pest Rangers, Elevation Wellness, Red’s Barbershop, AxelRad, The Katyl Agency, and PA Inclusive. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my family and friends—whether you supported this journey financially or just cheered me on every step of the way.
