Ann's home is close to the bottom of a small valley in Kibera, where all the rubbish and sewage naturally collects. It's not a nice place to live, but it's cheap which is what the family needs. And it's not a nice playground either, but it's the only one that Ann's got.
Playing close to raw sewage and lots of rubbish is not a good idea
And this is why Ann is often sick.
Her family can't afford to go to a clinic, let alone buy the medicine that Ann would likely be prescribed. So she puts up with the pain in her tummy, and the sickness she often feels.
Turning Point partner with a local clinic to ensure children can receive the treatment and medication they need to be healthy. They also carry out regular de-worming, something that had an immediate effect on Ann, together with regular check-ups to monitor each child's development.
The result: a healthier and happier Ann
