Margaret Wambui was a destitute child, deprived of even the most basic necessities. When she arrived at Shiphrah Centre, she appeared weak, thin, and pale-skinned, clear signs of being underfed and neglected.
She was immediately taken for a medical examination, where she was treated for malnutrition. Her rescue came after it was discovered that her mother, struggling with survival, would give her sleeping pills and leave her alone in the house while engaging in prostitution.
Margaret’s situation was both dangerous and heartbreaking, but at Shiphrah Centre she finally found safety, nourishment, and the loving care she so desperately needed to begin her recovery.
