What a difference!
Jennifer’s mother lived with her and three other children in Kibera, Nairobi’s largest slum. She earns a living doing odd jobs. Her husband is in prison for theft and she, like her young daughter Jennifer, is HIV-positive.
Jennifer was admitted to Gertrude Children’s Hospital in Muthaiga by the state authorities in Kibera because her health had deteriorated significantly and she required specialist medical care. She was diagnosed with a perforated eardrum and a severe middle ear infection. Furthermore, the child was severely malnourished and suffering from tuberculosis and pneumonia.
The Nest, TULISA’s partner organisation in Nairobi, was able to provide successful hospital and nutritional treatment here – and see for yourself how Jennifer has progressed in such a short time thanks to your help!
