“We want Kasosi to have the same opportunity like the rest of our children and for her not to feel neglected or left behind. She will be more independent if she can walk properly,” says Kasosi’s mother. Kasosi is a shy eight-year-old girl from Tanzania. Her parents and two older siblings love her very much and hope she will be able to walk the long distance to school.
Kasosi has unilateral club foot, a deformity on her left foot. Our medical partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF) shares that if untreated, “she will be at risk of developing early osteoarthritis of the foot.” Her parents are small scale parents and strive to make sure their children get what they need, but cannot cover all the medical costs.
With $1,160 Kasosi will be able to receive clubfoot surgery. AMHF says that with this treatment, “Kasosi will be able to walk properly, allowing her to continue with her education without problems.” Let’s work together and help Kasosi out!

Kasosi received initial treatment to fix her clubfoot.
Her treatment is going well!
“Kasosi is on the initial treatment to correct unilateral clubfoot,” Kasosi’s doctors tell us. “She has a few more weeks of casting before undergoing a small surgery and later on continuing the treatment with the use of a night cast. After complete treatment, Kasosi will be able to step on her left foot and walk on plantigrade.”
“Our daughter is happy and active and that fills our hearts with joy, knowing that in the near future she will be able to walk properly like her siblings,” says Kasosi’s mother. “We are very thankful for the financial support. This treatment is an assurance that she will be able to walk to school and continue with her education for a better future.”
