Let’s Give Abdul Qadir the Ability to Hear
Abdul Qadir's Story
Meet Abdul Qadir, a 3-year-old innocent boy from Khairpur, Sindh, who suffers from congenital deafness. He struggles to connect with his surroundings, unable to hear or respond to his parents’ and siblings’ voices. Upon noticing his unresponsiveness to sounds, his parents took him to a nearby hospital. The doctor conducted some medical tests and diagnosed Qadir with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and recommended cochlear implant surgery to open the door to the world of sounds for him. Unfortunately, Qadir’s family cannot afford the cost of the surgery.
Qadir usually remains quiet. If Qadir doesn’t undergo the surgery on time, he might not be able to develop the ability to hear and speak. The earlier he receives the implant, the better his chances of developing the language skills that are so important at his age.
Qadir lives in a two-room mud house with his six family members. His father, the sole provider for the family, is a fisherman and brings in just PKR 30,000 monthly. With this insufficient monthly income, the family struggles to make ends meet. The cost of the surgery is an additional financial strain for them. With hopes in their hearts, Qadir’s parents reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for help.
Abdul Qadir’s parents said in despair:
“We feel helpless as we can’t pay for his surgery. It hurts us when he struggles to connect while playing with kids. We humbly request you to help our son and bring him out from his world of silence.”
A cochlear implant will allow Qadir to develop the ability to hear and speak, attend school, and experience the beauty of the world around him. With your help, Qadir can grow up to live a happy life and enjoy all the perks of his childhood.

Abdul Qadir's Story
Abdul Qadir, a 3-year-old boy from Khairpur, Sindh, had been living in a silent world since birth. Due to his inability to hear, he couldn’t enjoy the cherished moments of his childhood fully which other children take for granted. He used to remain silent and avoided playing with kids. Concerned about his condition, his parents took him to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor. After a comprehensive examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. To enable him to hear and speak, the doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, the surgical cost was overwhelming for his family.
Abdul Qadir lived in a small mud house with his six family members. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, was a fisherman and earned just PKR 30,000 per month. With this limited income, they could barely make ends meet, and the cost of the cochlear implant surgery was far beyond their means. His parents were heartbroken, knowing that Abdul Qadir needed the surgery to lead a normal life, but they couldn’t afford it. During this time of need, they reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for help. We listened to their concerns and promptly registered his case. With the support of our donors, we were able to arrange surgery for Abdul Qadir at a reputable hospital on our panel.
On 30th August 2024, Abdul Qadir was admitted to GIMS Hospital in Gambat. The surgery took place on 31st August 2024. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed skillfully inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. After receiving post-operative care and critical monitoring, Abdul Qadir was discharged in satisfactory condition on 1st September 2024.
The external component of the cochlear implant was installed six weeks after the surgery. To improve his language and communication skills, Abdul Qadir now attends speech therapy sessions. Abdul Qadir’s parents shared their heartfelt gratitude as follows:
“We thought Abdul Qadir would live in silence forever, but now he can hear our voices and the marvelous sounds around him. We are so grateful to everyone who helped us.”
Abdul Qadir can now excel in life without any difficulties that he once had with his hearing impairment. Today, he is on his way to a bright future. He can now play, grow, and thrive in life like other kids of his age. His parents are extending their deep gratitude to you for helping them
