Sainani is a farmer from Malawi’s Central Region. He and his wife have seven children and six grandchildren. When Sainani isn’t busy farming, he enjoys crafting and going to church.
Nine months ago, Sainani started experiencing urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate. Benign prostatic hyperplasia causes the prostate to squeeze or partly block the urethra, leading to problems urinating.
Until now, he has not been able to access medical treatment, and is feeling very excited that he will be able to receive surgery.
He will undergo surgery to remove part of the prostate. The treatment will cost $742, and will greatly improve the urine flow through the urethra.
His family is happy and has accepted that he will be undergoing an operation. He hopes to return home quickly so he can go back to work to provide for his family.
