Rachael is a teenage girl from Kenya. She completed her primary education last year. Rachael’s grandmother, her guardian, is a subsistence farmer.
At six months of age, Rachael began to lose her hearing. Now, she cannot hear. She has learned to read lips, but her hearing affected her education.
Now, Rachael is scheduled to receive hearing aids from our medical partner on February 15. These devices will cost $929.
Rachael’s grandmother says, “I hope my grandchild can have her hearing restored or better still get anything to enhance her hearing.”
