Chemtai, a grade five pupil at a nearby local day school, lives with her grandmother in a remote village without electricity. They rely on firewood for cooking and lighting, and fetch stream water for drinking and cooking. The family shares a pit latrine with neighbors. Her grandmother sustains them through small-scale vending of fruits and vegetables, earning just enough to provide two meals a day and occasionally pay school fees. Four days ago, Chemtai began experiencing headache, diarrhea, fever, joint pain, loss of appetite, and general body weakness. Due to financial constraints, they did not seek medical care immediately. While selling vegetables, her grandmother met a neighbor whose child had previously been assisted by Helpster Charity, and she advised them to seek the coordinator’s support.
