Inoti is a child from Tanzania. She is ten years old.
Inoti was diagnosed with bilateral genu varus. Her legs are bowed outward. This condition is typically caused by an excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones, which often stems from contaminated drinking water. As a result, Inoti can barely walk.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $940 to fund corrective surgery for Inoti. The procedure is scheduled to take place on May 16. Treatment will hopefully restore Inoti’s mobility, allow her to participate in a variety of activities, and greatly decrease her risk of future complications.
Inoti’s mother says, “My daughter is having difficulties walking.”
