Dozens of families in Klay District, Bomi County, are smiling again after a free mass circumcision outreach helped children receive medical care they could not afford for years.
The medical outreach took place over the weekend in Beh Town. More than 15 boys were successfully circumcised, and families received free medication and post-treatment care.
Many parents said the program came at the right time because poverty has made it difficult for them to pay for healthcare services for their children.
One parent said, “We are grateful for this help because some of us have struggled for years to circumcise our children. The living conditions are very hard, and many families simply cannot afford it,” the parent added.
The outreach was organized and sponsored by James Power Konah, his wife Ramuna Konah, and their Team SISCO group to support families in their home community.
Speaking during the program, Mr. Konah said many residents had asked for help for children in the district. He explained that poverty continues to stop families from getting important healthcare services.
“No male child deserves to remain uncircumcised after birth because of poverty,” Konah said. “This is an important health need that should be addressed immediately after childbirth,” Jonah said.
Residents praised the outreach and described it as a strong example of community members helping one another during difficult times. Many said the program brought relief to families who had lost hope.
Mr. Konah also announced plans to take the outreach to other communities in Klay District, including Mannah Clan, Nouyandee, Goghen, and Guie Town, so more children can benefit from medical care.
Community leaders and parents said more healthcare programs are needed across rural Bomi County. They believe local outreach activities can help improve the lives of vulnerable families and give children access to better healthcare services.
