Support Marwa’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Marwa Bibi's Story

Marwa has been completely deaf for the past five years. She does not know how to make sense of the sounds we hear every day. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, her parents cannot afford the cochlear implant surgery that could restore her hearing. But if you gave her just $10, it would cover the cost of her life-changing operation. Support Marwa’s cochlear implant surgery to brighten her future.

Five-year-old Marwa Bibi, a resident of Swat,  was born without the ability to hear. When she was a year old, her parents realized something was wrong and took her to the doctor for advice. After a series of tests, the doctor concluded that she had sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor has advised her to undergo cochlear implant surgery to enable her to hear. She can finally hear and explore the world of sound with this device. The cochlear implant has two components. One is surgically implanted close to the ear, and the external component is installed a few weeks after the surgery.

She lives in a joint family with twelve family members. Her father is a daily wager and earns just PKR 21,000 per month. There is no other way for him to make money. The cost of implanting a cochlear device is high. Due to financial constraints, he is unable to afford the surgical expenses. Her father said in a depressed tone:

“Your kind support can transform my daughter’s life. With a hearing impairment hindering her communication and friendships, a cochlear implant surgery funded by your generosity would bring her immeasurable joy and open up a world of new possibilities.”
