In 2022 Marian was found via an African NGO outreach program. She had a tumour growing inside her.
A donor from Australia, a surgeon from Africa and aftercare nearby was selected.
Today Marian is growing into a beautiful young lady, she lives with her father near Dodoma. Tanzania.
Her surgery, follow-up, and recovery in 2022, cost less than a family weekend here. She’s now a healthy young girl, living near Dodoma, Sub-Sahara.
I met her and her father this year in 2025. Every mile of the journey to see her was worth it.
You don’t need to solve everything. Just help one child. That ripple touches families, schools, hospitals. It lifts communities.
Your gift multiplies itself!
- The child gets to live. To be part of the village. Go to school.
- The mother (or father, or relative) who once stayed home can now work – eg earn income for family.
- The sibling who was also a carer can go to school.
- The village becomes more productive.
- Over time, whole communities shift. I have seen it!
- Money spent on surgery also strengthens hospitals:
- Strengthens kitchens, nurses, doctors who stay local – building a better health system – less charity – less foreign aid is needed.
- Young surgeons like Dr Kimaro who rise, train others, and choose to remain.
Your kindness multiplies.
When One Child Heals, Everything Changes. Most of the conditions treated are fixable: like a broken arm from playing, cleft palates, bowlegs, untreated heart conditions. Over here, they’re routine. Over there, they’re life-threatening – eg cancer is sometimes solved with amputation, tonsils with removal as no other way eg steady supply of non fake antibiotics. Fixing one changes everything.

How do you know what the needs is?
I have this stat in real life 7 times.
It is estimated that 93% of people in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. It is also estimated that 45-50% of the total population falls in the paediatric age range and 85% are expected to require a surgical intervention by age 15. Access to surgical care is limited by many factors such as transportation, hospital infrastructure, limited surgical supplies, affordability, and Inadequate number of surgical workforces in the region.
How do you know your money is well spent Mal?
- Well its my money too
- From a review point of view – we feel comfortable that the medical competency is there with 59 of the 70 children reviewed being good on our seventh trip this year in 2025.
How do we assess when not medically qualified?
When reviewing all children we would much prefer them to be reviewed by a doctor – but due to the tyranny of distance, time and money that has not been happening. So we follow a 3 step test
How does his or her general health appear.
Looking at the specific problem of the child (we have the before videos, you can see them on YouTube) does it on the whole seem to be been solved
What does Mum and Dad think. They are asked in Swahili and pushed a little to see if they have any issues.
Its not perfect but a lot better than not helping.
