Aminata is a beautiful, spirited woman from Mali, living with her husband in the capital city of Bamako. Aminata suffered a stroke five years ago and has made almost a full recovery. Unfortunately, she has also been experiencing painfully abnormal gynecological hemorrhaging resulting from a uterine fibroid (benign muscular tumor). Upon consulting with her physician, it was determined that her only option is to have a procedural hysterectomy.
Aminata works alongside her husband. They make ends meet by selling grains in the local market. Financial constraints have left Aminata unable to afford this expensive procedure on her own.
Project Muso, a Mali-based organization, is seeking $660 to fund Aminata’s surgery. In her spare time, Aminata enjoys singing and playing the calabasse. Upon successful treatment, Aminata hopes to “reignite the joy in her home.”
