2 Eswatini children get life-saving heart surgery in Israel

Save a Child's Heart has come to the aid of 800 children from Africa, providing them a second chance at life; 'Finally, my child will be able to play with the other children.'

Ynet reports that Israeli NGO Save a Child's Heart has once again extended its lifesaving treatment to children in need. This time, two children along with their mothers have arrived from Eswatini, a small landlocked kingdom located in Southern Africa.

The recent arrival of the two children and their mothers from Eswatini exemplifies the group's commitment to reaching children in need around the world. Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, has become the 69th country to benefit from the expertise and care provided by Save a Child's Heart.

These children and their mothers have traveled a long way, seeking a second chance at life. Meanwhile, Save a Child's Heart provided them with the necessary medical evaluations, treatments and post-operative care to improve their cardiac health and enhance their overall well-being.

One of the children, Liyabonga – or Liya as his family calls him, is a 6-year-old boy from Mbabane, the capital of Eswatini. He is an only child and his mother tells us that they are extremely close. His father is currently studying in Rwanda and his mother is a teacher. When Liya was 3 days old his mother noticed he wasn't breathing properly. Liya was diagnosed with VSD, or ventricular septal defect, a birth defect.

Eswatini doesn't have a solution for children with heart conditions – Liya's mother was devastated because she believed there was nothing she could do to save her only child. She told Ynet: "Finally, my child will be able to play with the other children without getting tired so easily. I'm so grateful to Save a Child's Heart and all they have done for my family."
