Natnael is a four-year-old boy from Ethiopia. Although he is at the age where he should join school, his hypospadias prevents him from doing so. Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the urethra is not properly developed. After birth, it presents as a misplaced urethra opening either on the underside or towards the middle of their penis. “Natnael cannot pass urine while standing,” shares our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). "If not treated, Natnael is at risk of urinary tract infection and infertility in future." For $1155, surgeons will move the opening of the urethra to its correct position. This repair significantly lowers Natnael's risk of getting urinary tract infections or becoming infertile later in life. Natnael’s father is a teacher, and hopes to send his son to school once his condition is treated.
