Mahir visited our programme at Selam general hospital in June this year and this was his third visit to one of our programmes.We first met Mahir in August 2024 where he arrived with his mother seeking surgery for his cleft lip. However, he was unable to undergo treatment because he was underweight and malnourished.
This nutrition programme greatly helped Mahir meaning he was able to return in November 2024 for the surgery on his cleft lip.
Mahir’s mother told us;‘I heard that a few people in our community had cleft cases and received treatment through Project Harar.They were cured successfully.We have no history of such a condition in our family, but it appeared in my son, Mahir.We tried to get treatment for him many times, but it was difficult due to a lack of money. However, I received information from others who had been treated by Project Harar.’
“After he received cleft lip treatment, I started to participate in social life,going everywhere without any fear. Previously, we weren’t going to the Masjid with Mahir,and now I can thank Project Harar from the bottom of my heart that he could get treatment and be freed from the cleft. I am so grateful to Project Harar and want to thank them for all the work they do. Everything about this treatment for my son has been fantastic from the nutritional support, surgery, and follow-up support.He has made such good progress."
