Leilah is shy with strangers however she becomes friendly to people with time. Leilah lives with her mother and siblings in a single rented roomed house. The mother is the sole provider of the family since the father separated and deserted the family. The mother earns a living through making paper beads which she sells to people who make necklaces. She earns less than 20 US dollars per month which is not enough to cater for feeding, rent, clothing etc. Leilah is suffering from measles however with the income of the mother she cannot afford taking her to hospital for proper medication. In this case she uses herbal medicine from the neighbourhood which has not improved the situation and puts Leilahs life in danger. Leilah likes drawing and playing ball with her peers but due to the sickness she is always weak and in bed and missing out fun with her friends. Through your support Leilah will be able to get access to medication and grow up as a healthy young child.
