About

Jackline was born with a fistula. She is the first born in her family and is from a humble background. Her parents are peasant farmers and sometimes the climate conditions are so harsh that they can hardly produce enough food for the family. The parents survive from casual labor. This sometimes can be seasonal. It took her 15 years before she got repaired. Her parents had tried to take her to other hospitals for treatment but were unable to raise the required amount of money for treatment, which caused Jackline to despair. She was lucky to be among the patients who were brought to The Gynocare Fistula Center for free surgery. She was identified by "A Little 4 A Lot" and sponsored to school. She is very grateful and considers herself lucky. She wants to work hard and succeed so that she can help her younger siblings.

Am really thankful for the support you have given me and you are still giving me. You have enabled to brighten my future by paying my school fees. Thank you.
Hi Jackline,
Good luck in your schooling! I chose you because you like science and so do I! I would love to see you become a Doctor. I am a Nurse and appreciate how hard it can be so keep up the good work.
I will come to Kenya the next time A Little 4 A Lot needs volunteers - I hope to meet you then!
