Brimin is a cheerful three year old boy from Kenya, and he is in pre-kindergarten. Brimin is the youngest of three. His father works as a public transit driver to provide for the family while their mother earns wages from the grocery business to compliment her husband’s earnings. The family lives in a two-roomed iron built rental house.
Brimin was born with hypospadias, a congenital abnormality that causes urinary dysfunction. Without treatment, he will continue to experience uncomfortable symptoms and will be at risk of infertility. Brimin’s elder brother has a similar condition, and their mother is very worried about both her sons future and the obstacles they would face.
Fortunately, Brimin is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on June 19th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $631 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
Brimin’s mother says, “I want my child to grow up like other children.”

Brimin underwent corrective surgery for his birth condition.
Three-year-old Brimin underwent a successful hypospadias surgery to correct his birth condition. Brimin no longer experiences pain and remained in the hospital for some more days for management of the wound. He will come back for follow-up visits to assess his recovery progress. Brimin will also require second-stage repair to fully heal in 6-12 months.
Brimin’s mother says as she cried tears of joy after the surgery, “My son is doing very well with no issues. I have overcome all tensions and worries which I had in the past.” She is very happy that her sons are okay now as his brother also underwent treatment with Watsi support. Both brothers have a brighter future ahead of them with more possibilities than before. Their mother is grateful to the team of surgeons who had operated on her sons.
