Zoha Awaits Cochlear Implant Surgery
Zoha Fatima's Story
Zoha Fatima, a 3-year-old girl from Faisalabad, has been living in a silent world since birth. Zoha’s parents took her to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After running some medical tests, the doctor diagnosed Zoha with bilateral congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Zoha’s doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery, a procedure that will enable Zoha to hear, learn to speak, and develop abilities like other children of her age. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is out of her family’s reach.
However, time is critical. If Zoha does not undergo surgery soon, her condition will severely impact her developmental milestones. The early years of life are crucial for language and cognitive development. Without the ability to hear, Zoha risks permanent delays in speech and learning. The lack of timely intervention may confine her to a life of isolation and dependency.
Zoha lives in a modest two-room house with her seven family members. Her father works as a police employee, earning a modest monthly income that barely covers their utility bills, food, and other living expenses. Her parents dream of seeing their daughter communicate and express herself freely. However, the cost of cochlear implant surgery is far beyond their means, leaving the family in despair. During this time of need, Zoha’s family turned to Transparent Hands for assistance.
Zoha’s parents said in grief:
“Every day, we dream of talking with our beloved daughter. Watching her struggle to understand the world around her breaks our hearts. We want her to have the chance to hear, to speak, and to live a normal life, but we cannot afford this surgery. Please help us.”
Zoha’s future depends on your kindness. Your support can give her the ability to hear her parents’ voices and live her life without limitations. Together, we can help her take the first steps towards a more fulfilling future.
Your contributions can turn her silence into a world of possibilities.

Zoha Fatima's Story
Zoha Fatima, a 3-year-old girl from Faisalabad, had spent her life in silence. She was unable to hear the voices of her loved ones or the cheerful sounds of the world around her. She faced challenges in communicating and participating in activities that other children enjoy. Her parents noticed her unresponsiveness to sounds and became deeply concerned about her future. Determined to help their daughter, they took Zoha to a local hospital for a consultation. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed Zoha with bilateral congenital sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor recommended a cochlear implant surgery, but its cost was overwhelming for her family.
Zoha lived in a small two-room house with her seven family members. Zoha’s father worked as a police employee, earning a modest income that just covered their household’s basic needs, including utility bills, food, and other living expenses. Affording the expensive cochlear implant surgery seemed impossible. A well-wisher informed Zoha’s family about Transparent Hands. Filled with hope in their hearts, they reached out for assistance. Transparent Hands registered Zoha’s case, and with the support of donors, we arranged cochlear implant surgery for Zoha at a reputable hospital on our panel.
On December 24, 2024, Zoha was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Lahore, where her surgery was performed by Dr. Imran Saeed. The internal component of the cochlear implant was successfully inserted. After receiving essential post-operative care, Zoha was discharged in satisfactory condition on December 25, 2024.
The external component of the cochlear implant will be fitted after six weeks, followed by speech therapy sessions.
Her parents were overwhelmed with joy. Zoha’s family expressed their heartfelt gratitude as follows:
“Words cannot describe our happiness. This cochlear implant surgery has opened so many doors to new opportunities for our daughter. You have changed her future forever.”
This improvement in life was made possible through your generous support. Her family is extremely grateful to you.
