It is 11am in Nairobi when I meet Lucy Kahoro, a 38-year-old kindergarten teacher and mother of two. From her radiant smile, one wouldn’t suspect that she has been battling a chronic illness for the past 15 years.
Lucy is jovial, presentable and appears every bit as vibrant as one would expect from someone dedicated to nurturing young minds. Yet behind her cheerful outlook lies a daily struggle with Type 2 diabetes, a battle she continues to face with admirable courage and unrelenting hope.
“I’m just grateful to be alive,” Lucy says. “So many of my friends and people I know who had diabetes are no longer with us,” she says.
