Simba is rice farmer from Malawi. Simba lives with his wife. and they operate a small rice farm. Simba also fishes to supplement the family income. In his free time, he likes to play with his many grandchildren
Since 2012, Simba has been experiencing difficulty urinating. 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 Simba’s surgery. On October 3, 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. Simba is very happy to finally get his surgery after waiting for five years for treatment.
He says, “I am so happy—I will finally get my surgery!”
