Masiku is a farmer from Malawi. He lives with his wife, and together with their large extended family, they run a rice farm. Masiku has been unable to work due to his condition, but he still enjoys getting out to his local church and singing hymns with his family.
For two years, Masiku has been experiencing pain and urinary difficulty. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Masiku’s surgery. On June 7, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. Masiku and his family were overjoyed to find out his surgery would be funded. Masiku is eager to once again be able to work his fields and plant his crops.
He says, “I am so happy. I did not expect this gift and I thank you!”
