Mugisa is a child from Uganda. He is ten years old and the fourth out of five children. Mugisa is in grade three. His mother is a farmer who cultivates food for both home consumption and for sale.
Mugisa has a hydrocele, which is a swelling in a sensitive area. Due to pain caused by the hydrocele, he is unable to sit comfortably. The pain sometimes causes him to miss school. Fortunately, on April 18, he will undergo hydrocele repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $185 to fund Mugisa’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably.
Mugisa’s mother says, “I have no money and my son’s condition needs surgery.”
