Elisa is 26 years old, and is a farmer from a village in central Malawi. He lives with his wife and their only child, who he likes to spend time with when he isn’t farming and collecting firewood.
A year ago, Elisa developed an inguinal hernia. This causes him pain, discomfort, and difficultly performing his everyday tasks. Although this condition is easily treated surgically, he has been unable to access treatment until now. $327 will fund the hernia repair surgery he needs, as well as all post-operative care.
