Dr. Akwa Gilbert is a medical doctor and is passionate about the poor and the needy. His story is a beautiful one because he started from below and has accomplished many things. “Everything I have accomplished so far is thanks to my mother of blessed Memory Rev. Sr. Jane Mankaa, a woman who dedicated her life to serving orphans and vulnerable children through education, Health, and agriculture. She taught me (Dr. Gilbert) to have a vision and dream to reach out to the poor and needy, particularly to orphans and vulnerable children.

​

Mother Jane never failed to remind me constantly that I was picked from the street and constantly encouraged me to take care of the poor and needy in my later life. I am eternally grateful to mother Jane who has taken up this legacy and I have decided to continue in her footsteps”.
