Day 3 - Post 9 (Gavi)

Day 3 - Post 9 (Unbranded)

Aisha Rawagoni has no birth certificate, no education, and until insurgents forced her to flee her home in south-eastern Borno State, Nigeria, she’d never visited a health facility. Now she shares a tiny space in the camp with her husband and two children, Falmata, 5 (pictured), and Fatima, 3. She longs to go home, but also feels lucky, because “we’re safe here.” Her children are in the camp school, and the UNICEF clinic provides routine immunization and other health interventions they had never received at home. She lists off the vaccines her children have received … “BCG, whooping cough, measles, paralyze.” By paralyze she means polio, and Borno State, home to a polio outbreak that paralyzed four children last August, is the last remaining stronghold of the disease on the African continent.
