Abu was found walking slowly with two clubfeet in Sierra Leone. We arranged to have Abu’s feet straightened over the next two years by a specialist orthopedic surgeon visiting Sierra Leone from Germany.  Abu is now attending senior secondary school thanks to the support of a donor through our Student Sponsorship Program.

Abu is one of seven young people with clubfeet who got treatment thanks to Africa Surgery. We will be arranging for five or six more young people to have their neglected clubfeet corrected by the german Orthopedic specialist.

More results can be found at our photos.
