Africa Daily

Available for over a year

Tina was diagnosed with a rare heart condition as a baby. She fought against odds that said she wouldn’t live to be a teenager. Thanks to double lung and heart transplant, she has just celebrated her 40th birthday.

And the pandemic has only made things more difficult. #AfricaDaily Host: Alan Kasujja
