Meet Hussein, a four-year-old boy from Somalia. Edna Adan Hospital (EAD), our medical partner in Somaliland, shares that, “Hussein sustained severe burns to both of his arms when he fell onto burning charcoal, which is used in traditional household kitchens on the floor for cooking.

For $1165, we can fund a procedure to release the contractures on Hussein’s right side–a procedure that has already been completed on his left side.
