This situation lowered his self-esteem and compromised his personality. Derrick comes from a financially disadvantaged background hence his parents were not able to afford his medical treatment expenses. They Lived in a small and tiny family house with unfinished walls, leaking roof and unconducive for human living compromising the hygiene and sanitation standards in the family. Through the Seed & Health program, Derrick was taken to a skin specialist hospital at the Kenyan-Ugandan border and treatment commenced. With time, his skin improved and the organization hired a specialist who continued treating him from home until he fully recovered. Through the Seed & Learn Program, Derrick was provided with a private tutor for him to catch up with the academic years he had lost and was taken back to school and his education expenses(School Uniform, Shoes & Tuition Fees) fully covered by the organization.
