Madiha Bibi's Story

In the town of Swat, a three-year-old girl named Madiha Bibi, who found herself trapped in a silent world. Devoid of the joyous sounds of her loved ones and the melodies of nature, she yearned for the simple pleasure of communication. The absence of sound hindered her growth and kept her disconnected from the vibrant world surrounding her. The challenges she faced in living a life without hearing were unimaginable.

Madiha was born into a humble family, where her father worked as a daily wage laborer. Their financial limitations weighed heavily on them, making the costly cochlear implant surgery seem like an unattainable dream.

Within six weeks, the external implant was also installed, accompanied by scheduled speech therapy sessions that held the promise of restoring the wonders of sound to her life.
