Many children in Uganda grow up with debilitating conditions which lead to lifelong hardship and exclusion from their communities. A one time surgical intervention that costs on average around $400 can significantly shift the path of a child’s life from one of perpetual poverty to a life with the hope of education and eventually the ability to provide for one’s family.
The surgeries and rehabilitations are being coordinated by a Ugandan nurse who works with us in the greater Jinja area. The surgeries are usually performed at local clinics or hospitals by Ugandan surgeons. Some conditions are more complex and may require multiple interventions or specializations that are offered in the capitol city of Kampala.
Below is a list of some of the medical conditions that we can help fix:
Birth Defects
Cleft palates
Club Feet
Growths
Tumors
Orthopedics
Organ repair
Urological problems
Extremity reconstructions
Hernias
