Young sickle cell warrior champions care for fellow patients

 25 years old, Harriet Nasambu.[Juliet Omelo/Standard]

At just 25 years old, Harriet Nasambu stands as a beacon of resilience and compassion in her community.

A resident of Mayanja village in Bungoma County, Nasambu has transformed her personal struggle with sickle cell disease into a powerful mission to uplift others fighting the same battle.

Diagnosed with the hereditary condition at the age of one, her childhood was marked by frequent medical emergencies, intense physical pain, and community stigma. Many in her village believed she wouldn't live past the age of 18.
