Meet Salma, a one-year old girl from Tanzania. Salma is her mother’s only child. Her father left the family when he saw that Salma has a disability.
Salma has an imperforate anus, which means that the opening of her anus is blocked.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), reports: “Salma is currently passing stool through her vagina. To develop as a girl, teenager and a woman she needs to have this defect corrected.”
For $1500, AMHF can perform a 3-stage surgery to fix Salma’s condition. The surgery will allow Salma to pass stool normally, and develop without complications.
“This treatment will give me the chance to improve our lives,” shares Salma’s mother.
