62-year-old Kenyan woman identified as Muthoni has welcomed twin daughters after many years of waiting to become a mother, in a story that has touched her family and friends.
Muthoni gave birth to two girls, Wangari and Ng’endo, bringing what her family describes as a long-awaited chapter of motherhood.
The arrival of the twins was celebrated during a thanksgiving ceremony at CFF Kikuyu, where members of Muthoni’s family and friends gathered to give thanks for the newborns.
A Long-Awaited Journey to Motherhood
According to reports shared about the family, Muthoni had waited for many years to have children.
Her eventual arrival at motherhood with two babies at once has been described by her loved ones as a significant moment of joy and thanksgiving.
Rather than welcoming one child, Muthoni became a mother to twin girls, making the occasion especially meaningful for her family.
The newborns were named Wangari and Ng’endo, names that will now be associated with what the family considers an extraordinary new chapter in Muthoni’s life.
Family Celebrates the Birth of the Twins
The thanksgiving ceremony at CFF Kikuyu brought together relatives and friends who joined Muthoni in celebrating the birth.
Muthoni’s cousin, Liz Mbugua, was among those who shared the emotional moment with the family.
Liz, who serves as the MCA for Kinyona Ward in Murang’a County, described the birth as a double blessing after many years of waiting.
“After many years of waiting, God answered with a double blessing at the age of 62,” Liz said, according to reports.
Her message captured the significance the family attached to the arrival of Wangari and Ng’endo.
Muthoni’s Story Compared to Biblical Hannah
The family’s celebration also carried a strong religious meaning.
Liz compared Muthoni’s journey to that of Hannah, a biblical woman whose story in the Old Testament is associated with a long period of waiting and prayer for a child.
The comparison reflected the family’s belief that Muthoni’s long wait had finally ended with the arrival of the twins.
For her relatives, the birth was therefore more than simply the arrival of two babies. It was viewed as an answer to years of hope and prayer.
Who Is Liz Mbugua?
Liz Mbugua, who shared the story, is a member of the Murang’a County Assembly representing Kinyona Ward.
The official Murang’a County Assembly profile lists her as Hon. Liz Muthoni Mbugua, MCA for Kinyona Ward, and identifies her as a member of the assembly.
Liz also has a foundation bearing her name, the Liz Muthoni Mbugua Foundation, which says it was founded in 2021 and works in areas including education, agriculture, sports development and community empowerment.
Her connection to Muthoni as a cousin made her account of the thanksgiving especially personal.
A New Chapter for Muthoni
At 62, Muthoni now begins a new chapter of her life with Wangari and Ng’endo.
The story has attracted attention because of the many years she reportedly spent waiting to become a mother and because she eventually welcomed twins.
For her family and friends, the thanksgiving ceremony provided an opportunity to celebrate the newborns and reflect on the journey that led to their arrival.
The birth of Wangari and Ng’endo has consequently become a deeply emotional family story—one centred on patience, faith, family and the joy of welcoming children after a long wait.
While the family describes the birth in terms of answered prayer and divine timing, publicly available reports do not provide detailed medical information about the pregnancy, conception or delivery. Such details should therefore not be assumed.
For Muthoni and her loved ones, however, the message from the celebration was clear: after years of waiting, she is now raising two daughters, Wangari and Ng’endo, whom her family warmly describes as a double blessing.
