| Name | Jacob Odhiambo |
| Year of birth | 2000 |
| Place of birth | Nairobi (Olympic) |
| Residence | Nairobi |
| Country | Kenya |
Social circumstances:
Since his father’s death during unrest in his neighbourhood – one of the most dangerous in Nairobi – Jacob has been living with his two younger sisters and his now single mother. They live in a single room without water or electricity in the notorious Kibera slum in the south of Nairobi.
Monthly income: the equivalent of €60.
Medical condition:
For around three years, Jacob has been suffering almost daily from generalised seizures during which he loses consciousness. His school performance is declining and he is teased by his classmates as a ‘weirdo’. The teachers are at a loss and are considering asking him to leave the school.
Jacob’s mother did not have the money for a thorough neurological diagnosis. Thanks to your donations, a diagnosis has now been made!
Now we must work together with Jacob and his family to ensure long-term treatment and recovery.
