Pakizani is a farmer from Malawi. He lives with his wife, and they have eight children. Pakizani spends his days tending his land and raising chickens. In his free time, he likes to play with his grandchildren
Since 2016, Pakizani has been experiencing pain and urinary difficulty. 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 Pakizani’s surgery. On February 8, 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. Pakizani was thrilled to find out his procedure would be funded. He is looking forward to living free of the pain associated with his condition.
He says, “Thank you Watsi.”
