A 35-year-old woman from Ombaka Village in the Epupa Constituency is gravely concerned over the future of her 16-year-old son, who suffers from haemophilia.

Haemophilia is a medical condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury.

This condition has caused the 16-year-old to drop out of school and not be able to do any chores.

Vakazapi Tjirambi said her son, Rando Mbinge, was diagnosed in 2013 at the age of six.
