New to the Parish: Margaret Ndiritu came to Ireland from Kenya in 2019
Margaret Ndiritu came to Ireland seeking refuge in November 2019 with her husband and baby daughter, and was placed in a direct provision centre in Co Cork.
Receiving a Sanctuary Scholarship allowed her to do the course. She completed a level-five course in healthcare in Cork College of Commerce while in direct provision, receiving help for that from St Vincent de Paul.“I have always done them in the evening because during the day I take care of my kids and in the evening, when my husband is done with school, he’ll come and take care of them and then I’ll go to school,” Ndiritu says.
Ndiritu says she has do a lot of research for her assignments but receives good support and help from her lecturers. “Having lived in Kenya for almost over 20-something years, I still have those memories and I cherish them,” she adds. “It’s my hope to work with those mums and guide them. When your child is diagnosed with autism you go through like, a grieving period, which is really hard when you do not have people around you to support you. It can be mentally draining,” she says.
