"My child and I were victims." ALEXANDER WISDOM'S STORY Metrine had given up on her hope and dreams for her young boy to live a normal life. "I had a problem with my son who was suffering from a urinary tract infection. He was 2.5 years when this sickness took over our lives. I used to borrow lots of money to cure the disease, but the disease was too hard to be healed. We spent lots of time travelling to the biggest hospitals in Kenya, but still, the illness won. It was very difficult for me to watch my son suffer from such high fevers, so high that he would start convulsing. My hope was lost as we had tried everything. It was then that I heard about Thrive's Growing Health program. It was the natural medicinal knowledge that I gained from this program that changed our lives, specifically the plants; Artemisia and Moringa. Since 2018, my child is strong. He is no longer sick. I am so thankful that he will be able to be a kid again." Metrine gave Alexander the middle name, Wisdom, which transformed their lives. As Metrine continues to share her knowledge and impact the communities around her, we encourage you to share her story and invite a friend to join The Harvest. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do for work, or how much you can give, everyone is welcome to join and create sustainable, long lasting impact. The only way to end extreme poverty is together. Thank you. Your generosity is allowing more individuals like Metrine to be trained in growing health. You are supporting knowledge sharing that gives hope and allows individuals to live to their full potential.
