Tida Jadama, Age 7
A cascade of boiling porridge covered her chest when she was a toddler. Scar tissue bound her left arm so she could only raise it part-way. The scarring restricted her chest movement and pulled her shoulders forward.

WAME raised money and paid for plastic surgery in Dakar, Senegal, and her arm has now been freed.

New solar pump for the Clinique du Kafountine, Senegal
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.
