Tarafe has a complicated story. She actually had surgery almost four years ago but unfortunately her prolapse returned. This is always a risk, no matter which surgery is done but the surgery that she had done only has a failure rate of 1-2% and she fell into that group. She needed a BIG surgery and was slow to wake up because of all the anesthetic. But, all is well. She stayed at the hospital for a few days to heal before she went home. She has five children and many grandchildren waiting on her return!
Demekech is 41 years old and came to hospital from a good distance away. She is widowed and has eight children. She also had a “big” surgery - which has the best chance of long-term success and we pray that everything will heal well this time around. Thank you for helping her!

Amarech, who is 45, has four surviving children after giving birth to seven. She’s still married and her prolapse has been present for three years. Her surgery today was quite challenging but the doctors kept patiently going through surgical step and the end-result was very satisfying. She’ll have a longer recovery than Meselech but will be a changed woman because of all of you.
