Tida Jadama, Age 4

Picture
A cascade of boiling porridge covered her chest. Now scar tissue binds her left arm so she can only raise it part-way. The scarring is restricting her chest movement and pulling her shoulders forward. WAME is searching for a way to get treatment for her, perhaps in Dakar, Senegal, the US or the UK. Does anyone have any ideas or resources?

Picture
We're truly open to suggestions. We'll be checking online resources as much as possible.

New solar pump for the Clinique du Kafountine, Senegal

Picture
WAME, along with the African Birth Collective, purchased and installed a new solar-powered Lorenz pump for the medical clinic in Kafountine. Their old pump had fallen apart.
Lorenz makes "the Mercedes Benz" of solar pumps, efficient, reliable and long-lived. We wanted to get them a good one so they'd have fewer breakdowns.
The clinic has running water again.

We also bought them a 250 kW gasoline-powered  generator. There are frequent electrical failures and this will help keep their lab, and other facilities functioning during blackouts.
