Khoeun is a 62-year-old bike mechanic from Cambodia. He has six children and three grandchildren, and he enjoys listening to the radio in his free time. Five years ago, Khoeun developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Khoeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On April 9, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $398 procedure. He says, "I hope that after my surgery I will feel better and be able to see clearly so I can help my family and go back to work."

Tumusiime is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. He is married with six children. For two years, Tumusiime has had an inguinal hernia. This hernia causes him pain and discomfort, and this is affecting his work performance. Fortunately, on April 2, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Tumusiime's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Tumusiime says, “I am hopeful for a better life style after surgery and I continue with farming.”

John is a farmer from Malawi. John lives with his wife and eight kids. He enjoys doing handicraft work when he is not busy working on his farm. Since about a year ago, John has been experiencing pelvic pain and failure to urinate. 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 John's surgery. On April 16, 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. He says, "We thank you so much, and we hope that this program can go on assisting others as well!"
