By Damaris Nduku, Age 27 – Nairobi It’s hard to put into words what it’s like watching someone you love slowly fade before your eyes. For six long years, my mother lay in a hospital bed at Aga Khan — alive, but not living. Her body weak, her eyes distant, and no clear medical answer …

For years, I watched my once-thriving business crumble slowly into dust. What began as a steady decline turned into full-blown failure. Orders stopped coming. Clients disappeared. Even loyal workers started leaving. I tried everything—consultants, loans, social media marketing—but nothing worked. At some point, I began to suspect something deeper was wrong.
