Do you remember? Roseline is a 12-year-old orphan who lives with her grandmother in the Kibera slum in Nairobi.
Like many African grandmothers, Roseline’s grandmother takes active care of her granddaughter. However, their financial circumstances were not sufficient to provide a medical solution to Roseline’s problem.
What was the issue?
Since the age of two, Roseline had been suffering from an unexplained, constantly growing swelling on her head. She was teased by her classmates and isolated at school. Naturally, this had an impact on this intelligent child’s academic performance and, consequently, on her self-esteem.
The skin tumour has now been removed! There is still some detailed wound care to come, but the worst is over and, with it, the stigma has finally ended too.
Roseline would like to say a big thank you!
