Loserian is a baby from Tanzania. She is three months old and the last born child in a family of three children. Her parents depend entirely on small scale farming for food. They sell any surplus food for additional income.
Loserian has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. As a result of her condition, Loserian has been experiencing an increasing head circumference, fevers, and vomiting. Without treatment, Loserian will experience severe physical and developmental delays.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $802 to cover the cost of surgery for Loserian that will treat her hydrocephalus. The procedure is scheduled to take place on June 29 and will drain the excess fluid from Loserian’s brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve her quality of life. With proper treatment, Loserian will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young girl.
Loserian’s mother shared, “Our baby’s health worsens with each day that goes by, she is in pain and cannot feed comfortably because of her head condition. Please help us. We cannot afford the cost because it’s too high for us, please help our baby.”

Loserian underwent surgery to treat her hydrocephalus.
Loserian underwent surgery to help save her from the increased pressure that was building in her head and putting her in danger of brain damage. Due to the condition, Loserian’s health had deteriorated due to poor feeding, vomiting, and frequent seizures. The surgery went well and she was enrolled in a feeding program to help her gain weight and restore her health. Unfortunately, on August 11th, she was rushed back to the hospital since the seizures and vomiting had increased and she was also showing features of increased head diameter again. She was able to undergo another surgery and is currently stable, but still under close observation.
Loserian’s mother says, “After the first surgery she got better and then worse again. But she has now had another surgery and she is much better compared to before the treatment. Thank you very much for fighting to save my daughter and helping fund her treatment cost. I don’t know what would have happened to my daughter if it was not for all your help and support.”
