Yahaya M., 13

Yahaya Mohammed is a 14-year-old boy who lives in Zaria with his parents, siblings, and grandparents in their family house. He is currently in Primary 5 at Command Children Primary School. Yahaya is an active member of his community, volunteering as a guard at their local mosque. He is passionate about serving his country and dreams of becoming a soldier in the future to help defend Nigeria. The child was born with congenital Cataract of the left eye. He was taken to the hospital at age 5 but they still did not have the money for surgery. It was when they heard about Helpster Charity that they came down to get help. The child saw the doctor and the doctor evaluated him and diagnosed him with Left Congenital Cataract and Visual Impairments. He was scheduled for surgery awaiting Helpster's approval.

Mohammed Sani Yahaya was diagnosed with congenital cataract in his left eye causing poor vision and admitted to our facility. Surgery with lens implantation was recommended and performed to improve his vision. During the procedure day, close monitoring ensured a smooth operation. The child received surgery, eye drops, and subsequent follow-up care. The procedure was completed in a single day with improved vision, and he was discharged home in the care of his parents. The family is joyful and glad that their son has received free treatment from Helpster Charity. They are very thankful to the charity.

The doctor recommends surgery for Mohammed Sani Yahaya's left congenital cataract, specifically cataract removal and intraocular lens implantation under general anesthesia to improve his vision.
