*🩺 East Kenya: Lucia, the Village Lifesaver 🇰🇪*
In the *early morning light of eastern Kenya, Lucia wraps a shawl around her head*, lifts her red backpack, and begins her walk. Inside the bag? Just a few basic medicines — but for the families in this remote village, it might as well be full of miracles.
💊 For *over 10 years, Lucia has been the closest thing to a doctor* that many have known.
She’s a *Community Health Worker (CHW)* — part of a powerful yet often forgotten network of women keeping rural healthcare alive across Kenya.
🙏 Quiet heroes like Lucia are holding the system together, one patient at a time. https://rfi.my/BidP.w #reallifeheroes #kenyahealth #chw #africanstories #grassrootscare
