With this very limited income, the family struggles to meet daily household expenses and cannot afford Nadia’s hospital treatment and medical care. Nadia was taken to Saheda Gafur Ibrahim General Hospital, where she was diagnosed with acute watery diarrhea with signs of severe dehydration, and the family learned about the Helpster support program through the hospital team.
