Olivia is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She never finished her primary education due to lack of money for school fees. Olivia now practices small-scale farming to sustain her family and sells the surplus produce to earn a living. Her husband is a motorcycle taxi driver. Olivia and her husband live in a single-room house. Unfortunately, in 2022, Olivia lost her first baby due to severe fetal distress. She also has diabetes, which makes her new pregnancy higher risk.

Meet Chanty, a happy 7th grader from Cambodia who hopes to become a teacher when she's older! Her favorite subject in school is Cambodian literature. Chanty has an older brother, and her parents are rice farmers. As part of their farming, they work long hours most days, especially in the harvesting season. In 2011, when Chanty was two years old, she fell near her house and burned her left hand on firewood. Now, burn scar contractures have developed, tightening the skin around her burn and limiting her hand function. When Chanty's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On November 1st, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to improve the function of her hand. CSC is requesting $495 to fund this procedure. Chanty's family contributed $100 to her care. Chanty said, "I hope I can grip with my hand and be able to do things more easily at school and with my friends."
