Social situation:
Ann and Susann are single mothers of two children (aged 13 and 14, and 15 and 16 respectively) and live in the Kawangware slum in Nairobi. They earn a living through poorly paid casual jobs in their local area and each manage to provide their two children with a school education.
Medical details:
Ann is HIV-positive. Thanks to your help at the end of 2014, we were able to determine her immune cell count (CD4 cells) and the viral load in her blood. It is important to know both of these figures so as not to miss the opportunity to start effective (and, in Kenya, provided free of charge!) antiretroviral therapy (ART). If this had happened, Ann could have died from the notorious opportunistic infections such as TB, bacterial infections, meningitis, etc.
Furthermore, she urgently needs to have a cervical cancer screening carried out by a gynaecologist.
She also suffers from asthma, so we want to ensure she receives appropriate treatment.
Susan is in the same situation, except that she does not have asthma.
Please help both mothers to ensure they do not miss the start of their HIV treatment and that cervical cancer is diagnosed in good time.
