Social situation:
Stanford Njoroge is 9 years old and, together with his three siblings and his mother Alice, was among the 600,000 refugees who were forced to leave their home during the post-election unrest in Kenya in 2007 and seek refuge in a refugee camp.
Medical condition:
Stanford has an unclear and unusual skin condition that appears to make his skin highly sensitive to UV light (xeroderma pigmentosum, cutaneous porphyria, infection?). In the refugee camp, with only inadequate protection from the sun, the skin condition of the little boy – who was born almost blind – deteriorated rapidly. As well as suffering from bloody skin ulcers, he has already lost his nose and has difficulty closing his eyelids properly.
His family have since been able to leave the camp, whilst Stanford attends a school for the blind in Thika (an hour’s drive from Nairobi).
Tulisa would like to help little Stanford through his ordeal and refer him to a skin specialist in Nairobi.
