Nisriya is a young beautiful and playful girl from Ethiopia. Nisriya is the second-born girl in a family of three girls. She comes from a peasant family where her father is the sole breadwinner of the family. He is a casual labourer who relies on daily wages to make ends meet. Her mother is a housewife who delivered her third child in September 2019.
Nisriya was born with an anorectal malformation, a congenital abnormality that leads to a complete or partial intestinal blockage. She needs to undergo a series of procedures to eliminate bowel dysfunction. She had a colostomy done but it is currently giving her multiple issues. She faces stigma from society forcing her parents to hide her from the public realm. If not treated, she will be at risk of infections in the colostomy area and continue suffering discrimination. After her recovery, Nisriya will no longer experience bowel dysfunction or be at risk of developing health complications in the future.
Nisriya is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct her condition on November 14th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of Nisriya’s procedure and care.
Her dad said, “It is my hope that my child will get successful surgery and I hope when she heal completely she will go to school. And I hope I will get her a good school working hard since she loves education.”

Nisriya underwent anorectal surgery.
Nisriya underwent successful PSARP surgery on the 14th of November 2019 and colostomy closure on the 12th of May 2020. Nisriya’s surgery proceeded successfully and she is recovering well from the operation. Her colostomy is closed and she is making stool for the first time. She has now been discharged home from the hospital and is having a good recovery. The treatment will help her to lead a normal and high-quality life.
Nisriya’s family had a good experience at the hospital. Nisriya’s father told us: “Even before she started her treatment and although she was so young, Nisrya knew her way of making stool was not normal. She used to hide from her mom and me when she went to the bathroom, even in such young age. And once she started her treatment she always asked ‘Is it today that I become normal?’ And she was so alert and happy when she first mad her stool in a normal way. She called me over and told me: ‘I make my stool in a normal way now!’ Her face was shining when she told me. We were so happy. I never expected her condition will be reconstructed. And after we started her medical treatment, I was always scared. Now I am so relived thanks to God. I will send her to school now. The school is far from where we are, but I will make all the sacrifice to send my child to school. She is a bright girl. Our hospital stay was good. God bless the staff. They are so caring and supporting. From where we stay in Addis, all patients want and pray to go to this hospital MCM.”
