We have received the following urgent appeal for donations from our partner organisation ‘MOBILE HILFE MADAGASKAR’, which Tulisa is also supporting:
Novonje, a mother in her mid-30s, was shot by cattle thieves when they came to her remote village to steal zebus (cows).
The woman has suffered extremely serious injuries to her left leg, and one of her eight children was even killed in the shooting.The emergency call reached us in the capital, as Novonje has no way of getting her leg treated so far from civilisation. So we arranged for her to be brought to the capital – under the most difficult road conditions – so that she could receive appropriate treatment in a hospital through our partner, Dr Fernand. We have already provided a wheelchair and a leg splint from our stock. The first step now is to try to speed up the healing of the wound and then to stabilise the leg so that, once treatment is complete, the woman can walk on it again. For psychological and very practical reasons, we would like to preserve the leg, as prostheses are virtually non-existent in Madagascar – and even if they are available, they are of poor quality.
Further medical treatment is expected to take at least another month, and the total costs will amount to approximately €800. We are therefore urgently relying on Tulisa’s support to fund the necessary treatment for Novonje’s leg.
Please help ensure that Novonje can walk on both legs again and finally return to her seven surviving children.
We thank you most sincerely for your support!
