Mathews Kizito from Busia County has lived with asthma since childhood.

He believes the condition is hereditary, as his late father, Jacob Wafula, also suffered from it.

Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease, causes the airways to become inflamed, narrowed, and filled with mucus, making it difficult to breathe.

Common symptoms include chest tightness, wheezing, persistent coughing, and shortness of breath.
