“We hope that our granddaughter can be helped so that she can help herself and others as well. Being able to walk properly will give her independence, as she continues to grow up,” says Neema’s grandmother. Neema is a five-year-old girl from Tanzania with unilateral club foot. Her mother is a single parent, and she lives with her grandparents, who are small-scale farmers and pay for the family’s basic needs. “Neema enjoys playing with other children and longs to go to school like her friends,” our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, tells us. Due to the deformity of her right foot, Neema is unable to walk or run properly. Her grandparents want to help their grandchild, but the cost of treatment is too high for them to afford. If left untreated, however, she will most likely develop early osteoarthritis of the foot. $1,160 will cover the surgery that will allow Neema to walk properly again.
