Kamusiime is a mother to three children. She holds a certificate in computer studies but currently earns a living from small-scale farming. In her free time, she weaves mats and baskets which also helps to generate additional income. Her husband is a boda boda driver (motorcycle cyclist) and they live in a single-roomed rental house. Kamusiime is pregnant and her doctors have shared that she needs to deliver her baby with a caesarean section. She traveled to our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, to receive care. They are requesting $264 to help fund the cost of this surgery. Now, she needs your help so that she can deliver her new baby safely. Kamusiime shared, “I hope all will be fine and that I can deliver a health baby. I will continue with farming once I have fully recovered.”

"Fredrick is a playful, four-year-old boy from Nairobi. He lives with his parents. His mother is a tailor while his father works as a shop attendant," reports our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). "The family lives in a single rental house on a larger urban estate. Due to their low income base, Fredrick's father supplements their income by selling fruits within their estate." "Fredrick is a playful boy but due to poor sound perception, he is not able to communicate as efficiently as any other 4 year old child," continues AMHF. "He had fluid-like discharge from his ears in December 2015, prompting his parents to bring him to our facility. The doctor advised Fredrick’s mother to get hearing aids." Fredrick's ear drainage is caused by a perforated left ear drum, a condition known as otorrhea. "If not assisted with the hearing aids, Fredrick may have poor performance academically and even socially as he grows up," explains AMHF. With $208, Fredrick can receive proper hearing aids to prevent further damage and allow progression of his development. Fredrick’s mother shares, “I want my child to have the hearing aids and be able to lead a normal life."
