Nabimanya is a young student from Uganda. He has two siblings. His mother practices small-scale farming to meet the needs of her children, who are all in school. For six months, Nabimanya has been developing a swelling on his lower right eyelid. As a result, he experiences itchiness and discomfort. Nabimanya traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On April 5, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Nabimanya needs help to raise $187 to fund this procedure. Nabimanya's mother says, “I hope my son will get better after surgery and I continue with farming.”

Kelvin is a young student from Kenya. He lives with his mother and attends a special school for children with autism. Kelvin was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Kelvin has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. Kelvin will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on January 29. AMHF is requesting $459 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. “I love my son very much and I am hopeful he will recover and live a healthy and fulfilling life. That is why I plead for help so that he can be treated,” Kelvin’s mother says.
