When we first met Hannah, she was sad and had lost hope in life. This is because her mother would mistreat her forcing Hannah to spend most nights in school to avoid her mother. To sustain herself, she would go around collecting discarded bananas at the market in Limuru. When we found out about Hannah during one of the regularly scheduled health check-ups at her school, we reported the case to her head teacher who then forwarded our concerns to the area chief. The chief took action and immediately arrested her mother. Hannah and her younger sister were temporarily housed at a nearby children’s home. During her time in prison, Hannah’s mum got a chance to go through counseling sessions. Her Mother was released from the prison and Hannah and her sister were safely taken back home.
We followed up with Hannah and her sister and their countenance was greatly improved. Hannah is very lively and happy. During her interview, she told us that her mother now treats her well and that she is well fed every day.
