Lenge is an amazing little artist for having had no opportunities to dabble in art before. Twelve years old and living with his 4 siblings and single Mom in a mud and tin-roofed house, life has been tough for Lenge and his twin sister, Mulinda. Several months ago, his teacher, Penelope, noticed a growth under Lenge's eye that she was concerned about. She talked to his mother who said she was also concerned but had no money to pay for transportation to the doctor much less pay for surgery to have the growth removed. Kafwa health workers to the rescue! With their small emergency fund, the Kafwa arranged transportation to a good medical facility and fees for the visit. The doctors (pro bono) removed the growth and Lenge can now see well without obstruction from the growth. Lenge's mother is deeply grateful that Lenge received the help he needed and that her twins now have a chance to go to school.
