“All I want is for my grandson to be able to breathe normally and sleep well at night,” shares four-year-old Daudi’s grandmother.
Daudi and his family are from Tanzania, he is the fourth born of five children, and his parents are livestock keepers. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), shares that Daudi “likes to play with other children, especially in the mud making different shapes of things.”
Daudi’s grandmother brought him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with adenoid enlargement, which is an enlargement of lymphatic tissue between the back of his nose and throat. This condition affects his breathing, especially at night. Daudi often breathes through his mouth, which has exposed him to more sickness and infection.
In order to help him breathe easier, Daudi needs an adenoidectomy which costs $488. The procedure will remove his adenoids and help him breathe with ease. AMHF shares that once he receives care, “Daudi will be able to breathe well through his nose and he will sleep well at night.”

Daudi recceived treatment to help him breathe comfortably.
Now that his adenoids are removed, “Daudi is doing great,” our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), shares. Before surgery, Daudi “had trouble breathing especially at night, and the adenotonsillectomy was done successfully.” Once he is fully recovered, Daudi won’t face the increased risk of sickness and infection like he did before, and will be able to breathe without difficulty.
“The surgery has done wonders to my grandson and I am very grateful,” Daudi’s grandmother shares as she details his improvements. “He now sleeps well at night and you can’t hear him breathe loudly through his mouth during the day. I truly appreciate the financial support.”
