Josophat lives with his wife and grandchildren in Malawi. His seven children are all married, and living in their own homes. Josophat did not complete primary school, and is now a small-scale farmer, growing maize for both consumption and commercial purposes.
Recently, an old building collapsed outside his house, resulting in injuries to both of his legs. He was rushed to a nearby health center, where he was advised to seek treatment at our medical partner’s care center Nkhoma Hospital. There, he was diagnosed with knee and ankle fractures, and he requires surgery to ensure proper healing. Presently he is in pain, and unable to work.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Josophat receive treatment. On March 12th, surgeons at Nkhoma Hospital will perform fracture repair surgery, enabling Josophat to return to his farming, free of pain. Now, Josophat needs help to fund this $636 procedure.
Josophat says: “I am looking forward to treatment and recovery.”
