Sikenala is a 74-year-old man from a village in Malawi. He runs a small maize and groundnut farm with his nine children. Sikenala’s wife recently passed away, a few grandchildren have moved in with him to help on the farm. In his free time, he enjoys reading his Bible.
Five years ago, Sikenala developed a painful hernia. His family could not afford treatment, so he managed the pain on his own. Fortunately, he recently visited our medical partner’s hospital, Nkhoma Hospital. There, he underwent a hernia repair surgery on December 8. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $327 to fund this procedure.
Sikenala looks forward to farming without pain. “I give thanks to the doctor and for Watsi for coming to Nkhoma,” he says.
