One4Another International One4Another International is a Canadian organization that helps children in Uganda access life altering surgeries
www.one4anotherintl.ca

Many children in Uganda grow up with debilitating conditions which lead to lifelong hardship and exclusion from their communities. A one time surgical intervention that costs on average around $500 can significantly shift the path of a child’s life from one of perpetual poverty to a life with the hope of education and eventually the ability to provide for one’s family. The surgeries and rehabilita

tions are being coordinated by our Ugandan staff in the greater Jinja area. The surgeries are usually performed at local clinics or hospitals by Ugandan surgeons. Some conditions are more complex and may require multiple interventions or specializations. Below is a list of some of the medical conditions that we can treat:

Clubfeet
Osteomyelitis
A**l malformations
Growths
Orthopedics
Organ repair
Urological problems
Traumatic injuries
Hernias

While our center is primarily filled with clubfoot, hernia, osteomyelitis, knock knee and bow leg patients we do also treat a number of kids who come to us with tumors and growths. Cosmas was one such patient who arrived with a significant cyst on his forehead. An excision and biopsy were done along with stitches that soon healed, and here is his before and after.

At One4Another we want children and families to feel seen, known, and loved. We're not about reaching a certain quota of patients, but rather we believe in investing in relationship while treating their critical needs. As we follow the example of Jesus, whose focus was on loving one another, our hope is that each child will know their true value and the love of God through our care.

We're grateful to have such amazing group of donors and supporters who make all of this possible!

Michael came to our center with bilateral equinus feet as a result of being born with cerebral palsy. An equinus deformity is when the heel cannot touch the ground due tight calf muscles, tendon restrictions, or structural limitations. In this case, his neurological condition led to him having rigid and tight tendons lifting his heels high off the ground and making it very difficult for him to walk.

Michael is just finishing up a year of treatment with us, and what an amazing transformation! He went through treatment to lengthen his achilles tendons and he is now able to walk with his feet in a plantigrade position for the first time!

Life is hard for him as he is dealing with a lot of health issues at a young age, but having 2 flat feet will give him a fighting chance and make things a bit easier. His smile says it all!

Today is World Clubfoot Day!

The goal of this day is to bring awareness to the birth defect known as clubfoot and its treatment. The day takes place on Dr. Ignacio Ponseti's birthday. He is the developer of the Ponseti Method, a non-surgical and highly effective treatment process that involves foot manipulation, casting, and bracing - like Aisha is wearing! This method is for children 2 and under and has a success rate of almost 100% when followed.

Clubfoot is our most common condition at O4A. In 2025 we treated 147 kids with clubfoot, from infancy up to the late teens. We use the Ponseti method for our young patients, but older children require surgery to lengthen their achilles tendon. Surgery is more invasive and takes longer to heal, but many kids' lives are changed for the better because of it!

AMAZING UPDATE: Sharon has come such a long way over the last 3 years! We have become quite fond of her and it's been an absolute joy to watch her begin to flourish as her physical healing has progressed.

Between her arm and neck Sharon has undergone 6 surgeries and is now at a point of being able to move and bend her arm, close her mouth, turn her head, and of course smile! She's been working hard on her physiotherapy exercises and speech therapy and will now have the opportunity to start school.

When she first arrived in 2023, she didn't speak and kept to herself, never engaging with the children around her... but now she freely moves about and plays and interacts with the kids. It's such a joy to watch!

Showing the amazing transformation of a baby's clubfoot journey never gets old... especially when it's accompanied by such a cute smile!

Special thanks to a local elementary school that raised money to change Reuben's life for the better! We wouldn't be able to serve these children in Uganda without the generous efforts and support of people like you.

We want to acknowledge all of the wonderful mothers who fight for their children's health and wellbeing in the face of many obstacles and difficulties.

We also know there are many grandmothers and other women who take on a mothering role out of love and compassion for children that are not their own.

We're so grateful for all of these strong and beautiful women and will continue to support, counsel, and equip them with what they need to thrive.

🧡🧡🧡
