At the start of last year, we reported on medical emergencies at our partner children’s home, ‘The Nest’, in Nairobi, Kenya:

One such emergency involved little Dominic:

He had been severely neglected by his mother, who has since been taken into police custody for a criminal offence, and was suffering from severe malnutrition and tuberculosis. His father died in 2012 and Dominic remained with his mother, who is an alcoholic and has to care for a total of four children. When he was admitted, he was barely alive. He was transferred to a private hospital and received inpatient treatment there.

Dominic subsequently received fantastic rehabilitation at “The Nest”. He has made a brilliant recovery and – thanks to your help – can walk again; he is, in fact, well on the road to recovery!

 

The second case involved a group of five young children (siblings):

The mother of the five children has been arrested on charges of serious child neglect. The little ones were severely malnourished, had all sorts of skin infections and, worse still, their feet and hands were completely infested with jiggers. Two of them could barely walk because of the pain.

Thanks to a surgical procedure, all of them were freed from their suffering caused by the ingrown and superinfected flea eggs.

Once again, we would like to say: thank you very much!
