Nelson is a lively four year-old from Uganda who lives with his mother and siblings. He loves to play soccer and build small mud houses with other children in the community. His mother is a single parent who earns her living through farm labor. As the fourth child in his family, Nelson hopes to join his siblings at the local school next year.
Unfortunately, Nelson has malaria, which causes symptoms of fevers, vomiting, and anorexia.
On October 19, 2016, Nelson began treatment with Watsi’s medical partner, the Kellerman Foundation. Treatment includes malaria medication and four nights of hospital stay. Nelson’s mother is subsidizing $4, but she needs our help to fund the remaining $120.
“I hope he can get better,” says Nelson’s mother. “I want him to be able to go to school, and I also want to bring him with me when I go to work so that he can learn more skills. Having help from Watsi is a blessing. May God bless the donors.”
