Makulata is a 50-year-old woman from Malawi. She and her husband own a small maize farm, and they have nine children and twenty grandchildren.
Makulata loves to spend time with her large family, but last year she developed troubling symptoms of severe pain and bleeding. Since then, she has been unable to work or even rest comfortably. On November 17, she underwent a hysterectomy at our medical partner’s hospital, Nkhoma District Hospital.
Makulata needs help to fund this $643 procedure. After recovery, she will be able to return home pain-free and play with her grandchildren.
“I have no fear,” says Makulata. “I haven’t been able to do anything, but thanks to Watsi, I can be free from pain.”
