Social circumstances:
Francis lives with his twin brother and his mother in extremely basic conditions in the hopeless Kibera slum in the south of Nairobi. His mother, who scrapes by doing odd jobs, has a monthly income equivalent to €50.
Medical condition:
A few weeks ago, speech and hearing difficulties were noticed in Francis. The cause was found to be severely enlarged nasal polyps and adenoids. As a result, he also suffers from frequent upper respiratory tract infections.
With the equivalent of €250, Francis’s polyps can be surgically removed, and his recurring infections and severe sleep disturbances will soon be a thing of the past. Above all, however, his hearing difficulties will be cured – he is due to start primary school in the summer…
Thank you very much!
