Nalit is a seven-year-old from Tanzania who works at a supermarket as a storekeeper to help her parents cover the cost of her school fees. She doesn't earn quite enough to cover both her tuition and her everyday needs, but she says she, “would like to finish my primary education and continue with secondary school!” Nalit is the youngest kid in her family and the only girl out of four children. Aside from the financial strain, going to school is made even more difficult for her because of pain in her knee caused by chronic osteomyelitis, a bone infection that is weakening and slowly eating her right femur bone away. For $700, we can help pay for a sequestrectomy, a procedure that removes the fragment of infected bone from the healthy bone, plus antibiotic beads which will reduce infection and improve healing of the femur. Let's help Nalit get the surgery she needs so she can continue to pursue her education!

Anitha is a 15 year-old girl who loves school and wants to become a math professor when she grows up. She is known as a hard working student and likes to study. Recently, she passed her standard 7 exams and was admitted to continue her secondary education. As a result of trauma, Anitha has severe arthritis in her left big toe. Despite intense pain, Anitha walks to school every day. However, her arthritis has become particularly painful as of late, rendering her immobile. Anitha's parents have taken her to several hospitals in search of help, but have not found any success. With limited resources, they cannot afford further treatment. Anitha needs surgery soon or risks being unable to walk and be away from school for the foreseeable future. Let's work together to raise $500 for Anitha's surgery and get her back into the classroom!
