Muhammad Abuzar's Story

Muhammad Abuzar, a 3-year-old boy from Bahwalnagar, had lived in a world of silence since birth. He had never known the joy of hearing his mother’s voice and the laughter of his siblings. After a visit to the hospital, Abuzar’s doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery to treat his congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Through the support of Transparent Hands, he underwent successful surgery on February 15, 2025. Abuzar is now able to hear the sounds around him. However, he can’t recognize and interpret sounds, as his brain is unfamiliar with them. Therefore, his doctor advised him to undergo speech therapy sessions. Unfortunately, the cost of the treatment is out of his family’s reach.

If Abuzar does not receive speech therapy, he may struggle to communicate despite the successful cochlear implant surgery. Moreover, he may miss the critical period for speech development, making it difficult for him to interact with the world around him.

Abuzar lives in a modest home with his parents and siblings. His father, a police constable, is the sole breadwinner of the family, earning PKR 60,000 per month. This income just covers their household expenses, including utility bills, and food expenses. With so many financial responsibilities, affording the necessary speech therapy for their little boy is beyond their means. His parents have turned to Transparent Hands in the hope of securing Abuzar’s future. His family said:

“We just want to communicate with Abuzar. We have dreamt of that moment for a long time. He underwent cochlear implant surgery, but we don’t have enough money to pay for his speech therapy. Please help Abuzar during this time of need.”

Every child deserves the chance to communicate, to laugh, and to express their feelings. Your support can help Abuzar find his voice and embrace the sounds of life. Let’s stand together and give him the gift of speech!

You Empowered Deserving Children with Speech Therapy

19 Mar 2026

For children, saying their first word is one of the most joyful experiences. However, for those born with hearing impairments, even hearing sounds around them is a struggle. These children find it challenging to express their thoughts, emotions, and basic needs, which can lead to frustration, isolation at an early age, and missed development milestones.

Recently, Transparent Hands started providing speech therapy to deserving patients who were unable to speak. These patients had already undergone cochlear implant surgeries through the support of Transparent Hands. While these surgeries enabled them to hear sounds for the first time in their lives, hearing alone does not immediately enable children to understand language and recognize sounds. After cochlear implant surgery, children must learn to recognize and interpret sounds they have never experienced before.

Therefore, their doctors recommended speech therapy. However, these patients belonged to low-income families and couldn’t afford speech therapy sessions. Due to their financial hardships, they reached out to Transparent Hands and asked for help. Your support made it possible for Transparent Hands to provide speech therapy sessions to these children at the Society for Audiological & Developmental Ailments (SADA) Foundation in Lahore.

Speech therapists worked closely with them through structured exercises and interactive learning sessions. These sessions are helping the children gradually recognize sounds, pronounce words, and communicate with confidence. Some children have already started recognizing familiar voices and responding to simple words. They are still receiving therapy sessions, which improve their communication and quality of life. Here are the details of the children who have received speech therapy through your generous support so far:
