Ouma Hilda is well-known in her community for feeding those in need on a weekly basis from her own money since her retirement 24 years ago.
Ouma Hilda's passion for helping others started when she worked at a hostel.

Ouma Hilda spoke to the Scenic Drive about her birthday and her love for giving back to those in need.
"I took my pension money and decided to treat the homeless children and people."
"I baked two cakes for them with a glass of cooldrink. That was their pudding," she laughed.
With the help of Mangwanani Spa, the Scenic Drive team was able to surprise Ouma Hilda with a full day of treatments.
