EDITH ZAMA GUMEDE

EdithEdith, also known as Zama, is a Housemother at Mother of Peace, Illovo who takes care of children in a number of homes when the allocated housemother is off. She grew up in Inkwali, up the hill from the cluster foster care homes which are in the valley. She lived with her two children, her sister, and her sister’s children before coming to Mother of Peace. She is a single mom to Thule and Njabulo who still live with her sister when she is at work at Mother of Peace.

 

She enjoys the respect many of the children give her and loves working with children. She loves cooking a variety of meals from Indian and English cuisine to traditional African meals. She enjoys baking and her favorite things to make involve pastries like pies and samosas.  She gets great joy from her work at MoP because she likes to give a hand and help children who need more help than her. With extra money she will pay her daughter’s outstanding school fees, and with a regular extra income, she would invest in education for her children.
