Meet Vonongera, a father of three children in Malawi. He currently supports his family by working as a small scale farmer in the Central Region.
Unfortunately, Vonongera has been experiencing pain for the past three years due to an inguinal hernia, a condition which can be easily treated with surgery. He was unable to receive treatment until now. Because of his worsening symptoms, Vonongera does not sleep well, resulting in diminished ability to work and perform other daily tasks.
With $613 in funding, Watsi’s medical partner, World Altering Medicine, will be able to provide surgical services and medications to Vonongera. His weakened abdominal muscles will be strengthened with mesh and sutures and any bulging tissues will be repositioned. This surgical intervention should restore Vonongera to his formal, healthy self.
Vonongera shares with us, “I am excited to return to being a normal person again without such pain.” Our support will help him return to his family pain-free.
