It is not difficult to envision the conditions that these unborn babies and those babies recently born must endure. Many of the babies who come to Happy Life have a variety of conditions that have affected their health: skin problems; malnutrition; upper respiratory problems; malaria; birth defects....... 22 babies have died since our beginnings in 2002.
Sifa and Timothy have been in a local hospital for several weeks and are making good progress. They both have a virus called "Lota Virus" that has been prevalent in the area. Please pray that Sifa and Timothy quickly recover!
Sifa was found abandoned near a stream at Githurai 45 by a Good Samaritan named Alice. She stayed with the baby for several days since she did not know what she was supposed to do. She later reported the case was at Kia-mumbi police station, who referred her to Kasarani Children’s office. The child was about 7 weeks old on admission at HLCH. She is healthy and doing well.
Timothy was found abandoned at Githurai 45on 3rd September 2010, having been put in a plastic bag. Timothy was about 1 ½ months- 2 months old. The case was reported at Kasarani police station by a Good Samaritan named Rose. On the same day, he was admitted at HLCH and he is a healthy boy who is growing very well.
