Meet Abubeker, a two-year-old boy from Ethiopia. Abubeker’s father is a newly employed teacher in a government school.
“Abubeker was born with an abnormally placed urination hole,” says our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), “As a result, Abubeker cannot pass urine normally. This condition puts Abubeker at risk of contracting urinary tract infections and infertility in the future.”
Abubeker’s condition is known as hypospadias. For $1,155, we can fund an operation that will correct the abnormality. “Abubeker will have a straight penis with a urination hole at the tip. He will be able to pass urine normally and his risk of urinary tract infections and infertility in future will be minimized,” explains AMHF.
Abubeker’s father says, “I really pray and wish that in future, Abubeker will be an intelligent and educated professional.”
