Empower Shanwar Through Cataract Surgery

Muhammad Shanwar's Story

Muhammad Shanwar, an eight-year-old resident of Kabirwala, has faced a significant challenge in his young life—a cataract in his left eye. This condition has not only caused discomfort but has also hindered his ability to fully experience the world around him.

Upon discovering Shanwar’s condition, his parents took him to a local hospital for medical assistance. The doctor prescribed surgery, specifically LMA and IOL (Lens matter aspiration), as the optimal solution to correct his shortsightedness caused by the cataract. Shanwar underwent the first cataract surgery on his right eye through Transparent Hands in February 2024. Now, the doctor advised Shanwar to proceed with the left eye surgery to address the cataract.

Shanwar lives with his parents and two sisters in their own house in Kabirwala. His father works as a laborer, earning an income of around 21,000 PKR per month. With the family’s sole breadwinner earning such a modest income, he faces numerous financial challenges. He struggles to meet the daily expenses, including school fees of 2,000 PKR and utility bills of 3,000 PKR. As a result, they are unable to gather the funds necessary for Shanwar’s left eye cataract surgery.

Shanwar’s father said in despair:
