Meet Hauwa.
Hauwa is 25 years old and a mother to four children. She lives with her family in Bulabulin (Borno State), Nigeria. Like many people in her region, Hauwa is a malaria survivor.
Hauwa spoke with our partner on the ground in Borno State and recalled her experience with this deadly disease.
“Malaria makes our body weak. The fever takes over your whole body. Even talking becomes painful,” she explained.
“I remember waking up in the morning, everything else seems confusing. My husband was away from the house at work. My neighbors called him back and he found me laying on the floor.
I was told that it was malaria.”
