What you need to know:

  • Her son, who is autistic, does not speak.
  • The thought of him alone, unable to express himself, keeps her awake at night.

Monicah Wanjiku sits together with her parents Joseph and Anne Mungai, reminiscing about her son’s laughter, looking at his photo.

The once lively home now feels empty, filled only with echoes of memories.
