“I really need this surgery,” explains 50-year-old Yohane.
Yohane is a farmer who lives with his wife in central Malawi. They have five children and eight grandchildren. When Yohane is not working on his farm, he likes to weave mats and chat with his friends.
For the past year, Yohane has experienced difficulty urinating and pain due to an enlarged prostate. He has been unable to afford treatment.
On February 23, Yohane will undergo a prostate resection. This is a minimally-invasive surgery to remove part of the prostate gland and improve the flow of urine through the urethra. This surgery costs $733.
Yohane and his family are excited for him to recover and return home.
