== Life ==
Phyllis Keino grew up in a large family with many brothers and sisters. Her family was very poor, and Phyllis recalls receiving help from others in their times of need. Because Phyllis had seen the difference that this help made in her own life as a child, she was drawn to helping others when she became older. Phyllis became a registered nurse in 1976. As early as 1972, while Phyllis was training to become a nurse, children would approach Phyllis asking for jobs so they could make money.〔(Interview with Phyllis Keino )〕
Instead of hiring these children, Phyllis took them into her home and provided for them. Phyllis has eight biological children of her own with her former husband Olympian Kipchoge Keino. Soon Phyllis’ home could not support the number of children, and she looked to purchase a larger home and more land. Phyllis acquired 500 acres of land, previously used as a cattle ranch called Lewa Downs, in 1987 from the Craig family.〔Oduol, Malowa, “Against All Odds” ''African Woman Magazine''〕 This now serves as the (Lewa Children’s Home ), which is a home to provide shelter, a farm to provide food, and a school to provide education. This Home provides necessary support for these children under Phyllis’ care.
