A Life-Changing Transformation
When we first met Asrebeb, she weighed only 22kg. She had been living in a dark hut for more than six years. She was malnourished and in terrible pain. Her muscle contractures were so severe that it took months of intensive physiotherapy before she could even straighten her legs. Asrebeb’s health issues are so complex that she lives full time at Desta Mender. This is just thirty minutes from the main hospital, where she can receive specialist medical care as required. The great news is that recently she was able to throw away her walking sticks and can now walk without assistance.
The first photo was taken when Arebeb first arrived at the hospital. The last photo was taken just a few weeks ago when she attended a celebration at the hospital.
"I am in very good health now, doing better and better. I am in a condition that I have never imagined to be.”
