Swabrina is a delightful, intelligent 11 year old girl from Kenya. Her parents died in a road accident, leaving her village to raise and support her.
The love her village provides is ample but financially, Swabrina is a burden. The community is poor, struggling to provide for Swabrina.
I was fortunate enough to get to know Swabrina while visiting Mtwapa, Kenya. Although she is shy, she is overflowing with love and affection. She loves to sing, dance and play sports and she is very attached to her friends within the village; they are her family.
Swahili is her first language although she avidly practices her English. She is a hard worker and full of postive energy and giggles. Swabrina aspires to be a doctor when she grows up.
Swabrina is also one of the bravest kids I know. Swabrina had been sick with sores on her body while I was visiting her village. We went to the doctor together and she was diagnosed with un-treated and infected chicken-pox. The doctor pulled out a rather large needle and pointed it her direction. Rather than crying, Swabrina grabbed onto my hand and didn't make a sound. I will never forget her stoic little face. She is a fighter!
Swabrina has always struggled with medical issues. Recently she was hospitalized for Malaria and kept in the hospital for 3 weeks. The community does their best to support Swabrina but financial hardships make it very difficult.
The people within Swabrina's village have been struggling to provide food and clean water, let alone education and medical bills.
Swabrina and her village need your help!!
We are looking to raise $1000
Each dollar raised will go directly towards:
- Paying Swabrina's outstanding medical bills
- Medication
- Educational tools: School uniform, academic workbooks, calculator, pen's and pencils, binders, backpack, etc.
- Clothing
- Nutritious food
