WATAMU, Kenya - On June 15, 2015, 4-year-old Chepchirchir Kiplagat's life changed forever. Bitten by a snake as she slept, she permanently lost the use of the left side of her body.

Sleeping beside her on a mattress on the floor of their modest, mud-walled home, Chepchirchir's 2-year-old sister Scholar was also bitten. But she did not survive.

Chepchirchir was hospitalized for two months and suffered permanent nerve damage.
