This is Mwanaisha, a nine-year-old girl from Kenya! She is the fourth-born out of a family of seven children. Her parents are farmers who lease land during planting season in order to support their large family.
When Mwanaisha was born, she received a colostomy to enable her to pass stool. After a while, her colostomy became exposed. If this continues, Mwanaisha will be more susceptible to infections. Mwanaisha needs surgery if she wishes to pass stool again in the future.
Mwanaisha’s mother says, “For the last nine years, my daughter has never been well, but now I have hope that things will change.” For $1,500, we can fund Mwanaisha’s surgery so she can be able to pass stool normally again in the future!

Mwanaisha received surgery to repair her colostomy.
“Mwanaisha’s surgery was a success!” our medical partner writes. “Her surgery was delayed because her parents did not have money to bring her to the hospital on the scheduled day. But Mwanaisha now passes stool normally. She is looking forward to resuming school after a complete recovery.”
“I am so much thankful for your kindness and support towards the surgical care of my daughter,” Mwanaisha’s mother says. “You have demonstrated true love to my daughter, and I look forward to her full recovery. I am glad she will be able to go to school without fear of embarrassment.”
