Andrew is a 79-year-old man from the Central Region of Malawi. He is a farmer who lives with his wife and extended family. When not working on the farm, Andrew loves to spend time with his grandchildren. For six years, Andrew has been in pain due to an enlarged prostate. The pain sometimes prevents him from working. On February 7, he will undergo a prostate removal surgery at our medical partner's hospital, Nkhoma Hospital. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $726 to fund his care. Andrew says, “I am so happy to finally get surgery.”

Fyness is a 45-year-old mother of three from Malawi. After the loss of her husband, Fyness became the sole provider for her family. She works hard to support and raise her children. After developing troubling symptoms, Fyness went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Physicians have scheduled her for a hysterectomy, a surgical operation to remove all or part of the uterus. The surgery is scheduled for February 7. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, has requested $643 to fund the procedure. This surgery should improve Fyness's current symptoms and protect her from further spreading of the cancer. "I give thanks to Watsi," she says.
