Elizabeth is a young student from Kenya. She is a class 6 pupil and enjoys reading and playing with her friends. Elizabeth is the youngest in a family of four. Her mother is a single parent and supports the family through farming.
Elizabeth has clubfoot of her right foot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes.
Fortunately, Elizabeth traveled to visit our medical partner’s care center, AIC Cure International Hospital. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on August 18. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,286 to fund Elizabeth’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, she will be able to walk well and wear shoes to school.
“My prayer is that Elizabeth will one day walk well like other girls and continue with her normal life. Please help her walk comfortably,” Elizabeth’s mother shared with us.

Elizabeth underwent clubfoot surgery.
Our partner just shared an update on Elizabeth’s care that we wanted to share with you: Elizabeth was admitted to the hospital on Monday, her surgery was on Tuesday and it was very successful! She was afraid of the surgery but her friend Glorianne encouraged her to be strong and hopeful. The treatment will be of great impact to her life because she will be able to walk well, put on shoes comfortably, her self esteem will improve, and she be able to continue with her education like other girls.
“I thank God for hearing my prayers, it’s one thing to pray and another to give thanks for the answered prayer. I also thank everyone for the support of offering free treatment for my daughter. My hope is intact that she will one day walk well like other girls and become a prominent person in the country. God bless you,” Nancy, Elizabeth’s mother, shared with us.
