The Art of Giving - How Your Donations Saved Safiya

Safiya (5) loves to pose for a frame. But, behind this addictive smile lies years of pain and lost childhood. She was first diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect when she was just 2-months old. But due to a lack of financial resources and specialised medical care not available in the country, her parents could not provide her with the treatment she needed. 

A local hospital in Libya recently informed her parents about our upcoming deployment in Tripoli country’s capital. And after the initial assessment, she was operated on Monday for a medical condition known as an atrial septal defect (ASD). According to our team in Libya, her procedure went well, and she now has the opportunity to live and enjoy a healthy childhood.

Thank you so much for making us the vessel to support children like Safiya.
