Medhine

Picture
​Medhine Selassie was an Agricultural worker in Mekele, Ethiopia. One day in 1989 as he was working in his field, he ran across a hidden landmine and it exploded and injured his legs. When he woke up, he was in the hospital. The doctors tried to heal Medhine’s legs but his legs became progressively infected. In order to save his life, the doctors needed to amputate his leg. The loss of his leg made it hard for Medhine to tend to his fields.
He had tried other prosthesis for twenty-seven years. Nothing seemed to ease his pain or fit right on his leg. Soon, Medhine heard about a local clinic that was assisting amputees. He soon made his way to the clinic where he was fitted for a limb. Thanks to the efforts of donors, he is now able to walk again with his new prosthetic leg and receive the therapy he needs to be pain free and live his life to his full potential.
