Together with friends Patrick,Muthiora and Kiongozi Halisi Muninga, we drilled a side hole into the pit latrine and amazingly the kid was still alive even after spending over 2hours in the pit latrine”
Big Thank you to Wema hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital.
“Upon rescuing the kid from the pit, we quickly took it to Wema hospital where first aid and cleaning was done. Together with Martha from Raiko group, we managed to get some warm clothings and also Wema hospital gave us some baby shawls. From there we made some frantic calls to PLAn and some other agencies . With the advice from our local chief, we proceeded to Kenyatta hospital and both the doctors and nurses were at hand to save the baby’s life before even asking for money and other admission protoals. We thank God this far and pray that the kid we be well” added Tiema.
