Kalu is a 16-year-old girl who recently fell from a tree while she was collecting leaves for her family's cattle. She fractured her hip and broke a tooth in the fall. Kalu's family farms for a living but they must often supplement their income by taking on hard labor jobs, like carrying sand for construction sites. Kalu's brother took out a loan just to get her to the hospital, but the family cannot afford the treatment she needs to recover properly. Kalu is in a lot of pain and has difficulty moving her right leg. Surgery can correct her fracture and allow Kalu to avoid long-term deformity and disability. After she recovers, Kalu hopes to continue to help her family and complete her education. She is studying in grade seven and is looking forward to advancing to at least grade ten. Let's help Kalu live without pain so she can pursue her dreams!

Oumar is facing a life-threatening condition at just 19 months old. He has meningitis, and he’s developed chronic epilepsy as a complication. Oumar’s epilepsy is treatable. Through surgery and drainage of his peritoneal ventricles to remove extra fluid from his brain, Oumar’s doctors say they can end his epileptic reactions. It will take $1370 for Oumar to get the care he needs. Oumar lives with his aunt, who takes responsibility for him and his brothers and sisters. While she works hard as a tailor to make ends meet for her large adopted family, she doesn’t make enough to cover the cost of Oumar’s treatment. Oumar’s aunt dreams of him becoming a teacher and contributing to the well being of their community. She told Project Muso, “I hope he will receive the treatment he so desperately needs. I will do everything I can to make his future as bright as possible.” Oumar deserves a chance to live a full life, and access to medical care can make the determining difference for him.
