Meet Ahaisibwe, an adorable six-year-old boy from Kenya. He is the fourth child in his family, and he is in nursery school. He wants to be a police officer in the future.
In 2014, Ahaisibwe began to experience stomachaches whenever he ate food. A painful swelling developed in his groin, and he became unable to attend school or play with his friends. In 2015, Ahaisibwe was taken to hospital in Kampala, where he was diagnosed with a reducible right inguinal hernia and was advised to undergo surgery.
Ahaisibwe’s family could not afford surgery, so they returned home. His father works as a motorcycle transporter, and his mother is unemployed. Fortunately, they visited our medical partner’s care center, where Ahaisibwe underwent a hernia repair surgery on November 16.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund this procedure. Ahaisibwe’s mother hopes that after recovery, he will return to school.
