24-year-old Anthony Omari single-handedly fought off six machete-wielding armed intruders to protect 37 sleeping orphans at the Faraja Children's Home in Ngong, Kenya, an orphanage he ran with his mother, Martha Bosire. It was the fourth break-in that month. When Omari woke up to find the thieves in his bedroom, he grabbed a hammer he kept under his bed and charged at them, driving the group outside. As he turned back to calm the frightened children, one of the attackers struck him across the face with a machete. Despite the devastating wound, Omari managed to lock the front door before collapsing. He required 11 stitches and was left with a prominent scar running from his forehead down his cheek. After just two days in the hospital, he returned to the orphanage, refusing to leave the children vulnerable any longer. The story went viral after a Reddit post appealed for help. In a remarkable outpouring of generosity, more than 3,600 donors from all 50 U.S. states and 46 countries raised over $80,000. The funds were used to install a new security fence, hire guards, buy proper beds (the children had been sleeping on the floor), and cover other essential needs. Today, Anthony Omari holds a civil engineering degree, runs his own construction company, and continues to regularly visit and support the children at Faraja Children’s Home.
