Medical Treatment for my child
Medical Treatment for my child
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Katala. I am from Tanzania, and this is my 28-year-old son, Maganga Hussein. Five years ago, Hussein suffered a head injury after a terrible fall. At first, the doctors assured us he would be fine. But soon after, his condition worsened in ways we never expected. He began having frequent seizures — sometimes lasting the whole day. After each episode, he would fall unconscious and wake up with no memory of what had happened. This condition has taken over his life. Hussein can no longer go outside on his own. He is constantly confused, helpless, and in pain. Sometimes, in anger and frustration, he tries to escape, only to collapse again without warning. Despite my efforts, I haven’t been able to get him the proper diagnosis or treatment. I’ve taken him to different hospitals, but without the right tests — which are expensive — we still don’t know the true cause. The medications he’s been given haven’t helped. I work full time, and it breaks my heart that I can’t always be there to keep him safe. As a mother, I am asking for your help — so that my son can get the medical care he urgently needs. No amount is too small. Please help us bring back a life that still has so much hope. Thank you. Jina langu ni Elizabeth Katala. Mimi ni Mtanzania na huyu ni mtoto wangu, Maganga Hussein, ana umri wa miaka 28. Miaka mitano iliyopita, Hussein alianguka na kupigwa kichwani vibaya. Tulimkimbiza hospitali na madaktari walituambia kuwa hali ilikuwa sawa. Lakini siku chache baadaye, alianza kupata kifafa mara kwa mara — wakati mwingine kwa siku nzima. Baada ya kifafa, huanguka na kupoteza fahamu, na akiamka, hana kumbukumbu ya kilichotokea. Hali hii imechukua maisha yake kabisa. Hawezi kutoka nje peke yake. Huwezi kujielewa, huishi kwa maumivu na kuchanganyikiwa. Mara kadhaa amejaribu kutoroka kwa hasira, lakini huanguka tena barabarani. Nimempeleka hospitali nyingi, lakini bila pesa za vipimo maalum, hatujajua chanzo hasa ni nini. Madawa aliyopewa hayamsaidii. Mimi ni mfanyakazi wa muda wote na siwezi kuwa naye nyumbani kila saa. Kama mama, nakuomba kwa moyo wangu wote unisaidie kumtibu mtoto wangu Hussein. Hakuna kiasi kidogo. Tafadhali tusaidie kurudisha maisha ya kijana huyu mwenye matumaini. Ahsante sana.

Ecole St Vincent- Besançon- Baskinta
Ecole St Vincent- Besançon- Baskinta
Ecole saint Vincent - Besançon Baskinta « Toujours en avant " ______ En 1904, répondant à l’appel de l’Église du Liban, les Sœurs de la Charité de Sainte Jeanne Antide (Besançon) ont planté les premières racines d’une mission éducative au service des enfants de notre pays. Au fil du temps, leur mission continue de grandir et d’évoluer au grès des besoins de la société : accueil des orphelins, éducation des filles, formation humaine, intellectuelle et spirituelle de toute une jeunesse. Aujourd’hui, notre école est comme un arbre aux branches multiples : - Une école académique du préscolaire jusqu’au brevet. - Une école technique avec deux spécialisations : Hôtellerie et Informatique / Comptabilité. - Un internat accueillant enfants de tout le Liban, de toutes cultures et religions, en grande précarité (de 6 à 18 ans). - Une garderie pour les enfants de 1 à 3 ans. Nos élèves peuvent suivre des parcours diplômants reconnus par l'État : le cursus du Brevet Professionnel (BP1, BP2), et par la suite celui du Bac Technique (BT1 à BT3) qui leur ouvrent la voie vers l'autonomie professionnelle. Notre école, qui est un établissement catholique, francophone et reconnu comme ONG, accueille environ 340 élèves accompagnés par 50 enseignants et membres du personnel administratif. Bien plus qu’un lieu d’enseignement, elle est un lieu de vie et d’espérance où chacun y est accueilli, écouté et soutenu. Nous croyons en une éducation qui donne du sens à la vie, qui fait grandir en humanité, en responsabilité et en liberté. Une éducation qui apprend aux jeunes à mettre leurs talents au service du bien commun et les prépare à construire une société plus juste, plus fraternelle, plus belle. Mais depuis octobre 2018, à l’image de notre pays, notre école traverse une succession de crises profondes. L’État ne nous verse plus les aides auxquelles nous avons droit pour l’institution sociale et pour les écoles primaire et technique. Les familles, elles aussi, sont durement touchées. Près de 50 % des parents sont au chômage ou ne reçoivent qu’un demi-salaire et peinent alors à payer les frais de scolarité. Et pourtant, nos équipes restent mobilisées et continuent d’accueillir, former et accompagner tous nos élèves sans exception. Chaque jour, avec foi et courage, nous poursuivons notre mission et continuons de semer les graines du savoir et de l’apprentissage. Ainsi dans ce contexte sans précédent, où nous sommes dans l’incapacité de répondre aux besoins croissants du fonctionnement de l’établissement mais cherchons malgré tout à honorer nos engagements envers notre personnel éducatif et à alléger le fardeau financier des familles, nous avons besoin de vous. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, nous faisons appel à la générosité de nos amis et de nos bienfaiteurs. En parrainant un orphelin ou un élève en grande difficulté sociale ou financière, ou en participant au fonctionnement ou développement de l'etablissement, vous devenez un maillon d’une grande chaine humaine, contribuez à faire vivre notre mission éducative et maintenez allumée la flamme de la connaissance, de la vie et de l’espérance dans les yeux de tous nos élèves, sans exception.

Over time, their mission has continued to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of society: caring for orphans, educating girls, and fostering the human, intellectual, and spiritual development of generations of youth. Today, our school is like a tree with many branches: - An academic school from preschool through to the Brevet. - A technical school offering two specializations: Hospitality and IT/Accounting. - A boarding facility welcoming vulnerable children from across Lebanon, of all cultures and religions, aged 6 to 18. - A daycare center for children aged 1 to 3. Our students can pursue state-recognized diploma programs: the Brevet Professionnel track (BP1, BP2), followed by the Baccalauréat Technique (BT1 to BT3), paving the way to professional independence. Our school, a Catholic and French-speaking institution recognized as an NGO, welcomes around 340 students, supported by 50 teachers and administrative staff. More than just a place of learning, it is a place of life and hope, where everyone is welcomed, heard, and supported. We believe in an education that gives meaning to life, one that nurtures humanity, responsibility, and freedom. An education that teaches young people to use their talents in service of the common good and prepares them to build a more just, fraternal, and beautiful society. Since October 2018, like our country, our school has been going through a series of deep crises. The state no longer provides the financial support we are entitled to for our social institution and for the primary and technical schools. Families have also been severely affected: nearly 50% of parents are unemployed or receive only half a salary, making it difficult for them to pay school fees. And yet, our team remain committed and continue to welcome, educate, and support all our students without exception. Every day, with faith and courage, we carry on our mission, sowing the seeds of knowledge and learning. In this unprecedented context where we are unable to meet the growing operational needs of the school but are still striving to honor our commitments to our educational staff and ease the financial burden on families, we need your support. Today, more than ever, we appeal to the generosity of our friends and benefactors. By sponsoring an orphan or a student facing severe social or financial hardship, you become part of a powerful human chain, helping sustain our educational mission and keeping the flame of knowledge, life, and hope alive in the eyes of all our students, without exception.

Powering Breath: Affordable Ventilators for Africa
Powering Breath: Affordable Ventilators for Africa
Hi. My name is Hank DeBey. My team and I are in Africa, and we have developed an amazing new medical device to treat the most lethal diseases in Africa, lung diseases. Lung diseases kill more than three times as many people as malaria. An essential tool for treating lung diseases is the ventilator, but in Africa, ventilators are virtually non-existent. In Africa, there is less than one ventilator for every 100,000 people, while in the USA, there are 35 ventilators for every 100,000. The primary reason ventilators are rarely found in Africa is they are very expensive, ranging from $20,000 to $55,000. Another factor contributing to the scarcity of ventilators in Africa is the fact that they require a procedure called intubation and people sufficiently trained to carry out intubations are about as scarce as the ventilators themselves. We have developed a ventilator that is perfect for use in Africa. We call it the Afri-Genie ventilator, and it offers a truly life-saving solution for millions of people across Africa each year. Our Afri-Genie ventilator is incredibly low-cost at less than $3,000 and it doesn't require intubations to be performed, yet it achieves the basic specifications of conventional ventilators. Those two factors mean that it can be deployed not only in big city hospitals but it can even be used by minimally-trained community health workers in small rural clinics. A key design principle of our Afri-Genie ventilator is the use of locally available materials common across Africa, such as plumbing pipes and automotive repair parts. This eliminates complex, expensive supply chains and simplifies manufacturing and ongoing product support. We urgently need your help to carry out clinical trials of our new ventilator and to start deploying it as widely as possible. Here is How Your Contributions Will Be Used: - Upgrade to fair salaries for our dedicated volunteer team - Upgrade our production capabilities - Conduct 24-hour stress testing of multiple ventilators to prove durability and reliability - Install solar panels to ensure uninterrupted power for testing, despite daily power outages - Relocate to a larger facility that can support expanded operations - Cover clinical trial expenses, including regulatory approvals, supplies, and logistics Of course, these aspirations hinge upon the help you can give us and the actual level of these activities will be scaled according to the donations received Please click the donate button now.

The pain does not leave me, and it has become difficult for me to continue my daily life with my family. I suffer from constant fatigue, loss of appetite, and significant weight loss, and every day that passes I feel that I am further away from my dreams and the dreams of my family.   Today, I am writing to you from a heart full of hope, hoping to find  Who can help me in this ordeal?
