Sheila Wangari Nyandiwa’s Story

Name: Sheila Wangari Nyandiwa
Age: 21 years
Gender: Female
Location: Ebukhuliti, Emuhaya, Vihiga, Kenya

About Sheila

Sheila Wangari Nyandiwa is a 21-year-old woman with a remarkable spirit and a creative talent for making beads and necklaces. Born with severe cerebral palsy affecting both her lower and upper limbs, Sheila has faced significant physical challenges throughout her life. Despite these difficulties, she has managed to develop coordination in her upper limbs through physiotherapy, which has allowed her to engage in beadwork, an activity that keeps her occupied and provides a sense of accomplishment.

Health Challenges

Sheila’s condition has been compounded by epilepsy, which she developed at the age of five. This condition is currently under control with medication, but it has added to the complexity of her care needs. Sheila’s cerebral palsy and epilepsy require ongoing medical attention, including regular physiotherapy and medication.

Sheila’s parents have both passed away, leaving her in the care of her aunt, Josephine Nyandiwa. The family’s financial situation is dire, making it difficult to afford the necessary medical treatments, educational fees, and other support that Sheila needs.

Daily Life and Needs

Despite her challenges, Sheila is a creative and determined individual. She dropped out of Daisy Special School after grade 5 due to financial constraints but continues to show a keen interest in learning and skill development. Sheila dreams of furthering her skills in mat making, necklace crafting, and knitting, which could provide her with a means of self-sufficiency and a sense of purpose.

To support Sheila in achieving her goals, she needs financial assistance for:

  • Medical Services: Regular physiotherapy, medication for epilepsy, and other necessary treatments.
  • Skill Training: Training in mat making, necklace crafting, and knitting.
  • Orthopedic Aids: A wheelchair and prosthetics to improve her mobility.
  • Counseling: Emotional and psychological support to help her cope with her conditions.
  • Educational Support: Fees and supplies to help her continue her education and skill training.

Sheila’s annual needs amount to approximately 48,000 KES. Your support can make a significant difference in her life by providing her with the resources she needs to manage her conditions, continue her education, and develop skills that can lead to financial independence.
