Rebecca C., 17

Rebecca is a 17-year-old student in Form Three at a local public day school. She lives with her family in a remote area, where her father is the sole breadwinner working as a boda boda rider, earning less than Ksh 200 per day. This income is insufficient to cover school fees, daily necessities, and proper medical care. Rebecca learned about Helpster Charity through community health promoters. Upon visiting the facility, she was assessed, enrolled in the program, and allowed to continue her treatment under Helpster Charity’s support. For the past two days, Rebecca had been experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. On arrival at the facility, she reported epigastric pain, fever alternating with chills, watery diarrhea with blood spots, severe intermittent headaches, dizziness, and joint pain. Following examination and laboratory investigations, she was diagnosed with severe malaria, anemia, severe gastroenteritis, and dehydration. She was admitted for appropriate treatment and further medical management.
