ENT Surgeries
Overview
At the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya, hope is taking root. Alhamdulillah, in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Human Development Fund (HDF) has successfully facilitated over 230 ENT surgeries for refugee children, giving them a chance at a healthier and brighter future.
Why ENT Surgeries Matter
ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) conditions can significantly impact a child’s ability to learn, communicate, and thrive. For many children in Dadaab, untreated ENT issues cause chronic pain, hearing loss, or life-threatening infections. These surgeries don’t just treat physical ailments; they restore dignity, confidence, and hope for a better tomorrow.
Impact
Every surgery costs just $350, a small price for a monumental transformation. These procedures:
- Restore Hearing: Helping children reconnect with the world around them.
- Relieve Pain: Eliminating infections and discomfort.
- Unlock Opportunities: Supporting children to participate fully in education and community life.
