Asiimwe is a young student from Uganda. He is the oldest of five children.
Since 2009, Asiimwe has had an umbilical hernia. This hernia causes him pain and discomfort and if not treated, it may result in intestinal tissue damage and death. Fortunately, on January 16, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund Asiimwe’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
He says, “I like playing football.”
