Crawling to live: Family fights rare muscle-wasting disease amid poverty

 

John Mwangi, 39, and Godfrey Mbugua, 32, who are living with disability, at their home in Engashura, Nakuru. ‎[Kipsang Joseph, Standard]

It is a bright afternoon at Engashura area on the outskirts of Nakuru City. John Mwangi, 39, and his younger brother Godfrey Mbugua, 32, drag their bodies slowly toward the narrow doorway of their home.

Their palms and chests scrape against the dry earth, sending fine clouds of dust into the air that cling stubbornly to their skin and clothes.
