In the second of a three-part series profiling young humanitarian Gemma Steele, Gemma relives the break-in in 2012 by a machete gang at St Jerome's - the orphanage she set up in Kenya. The gang robbed them of all money and valuables.

This proved to be a catalyst for change, and with donations of help flooding in, in particular initially from her home island of South Uist, Gemma decided to build a new and bigger orphanage in a safer area. We follow her with the new build well underway.
