| Residence | Nairobi |
| Country | Kenya |
Social background:
Anne Gathoni Njoki is 28 years old and is the eldest of four children. She lives with one of her younger sisters in the Kibera slum in Nairobi. Due to financial difficulties, she was forced to leave school after Year 7. It was impossible for her mother to pay school fees and provide for the family at the same time.
Anne felt compelled to come to Nairobi to look for ways to make a living. She began working as a casual labourer, thereby supporting herself and her younger sister.
Anne got married, but the marriage broke down very quickly as she had been experiencing severe pain during sexual intercourse since 2012. Her husband filed for divorce.
Medical history:
In September 2014, she sought treatment at St Mary’s Hospital, where she was diagnosed with vaginal stenosis. She underwent plastic surgery on the vagina. Despite the surgical intervention, there was no improvement. Sexual intercourse is not possible; not even a manual gynaecological examination is feasible due to the narrowness.
In addition, Anne suffers from an eye condition that causes her severely reddened and itchy eyes to water constantly. She was referred to an ophthalmologist but could not afford the cost of the examination.
Anne urgently needs further diagnostic tests and treatment for both her gynaecological and ophthalmological conditions and is dependent on your help.
