Four months ago, Judy Kwamboka, 14, woke up and told her mother she did not want to go to school. She complained of a severe headache and said she had nose bled the whole night. The class seven pupil at Ibara Primary in Kisii County had been telling her mother she was having dizzy spells and difficulty in breathing.

"I would buy her painkillers, and hope she will feel better," says her mother Dorka Nyaboke.
