SAID

THE FISHERMAN

Before Starkey Hearing Foundation arrived in
Lamu, Kenya, local fisherman Said Mahsen faced
an unimaginable decision: sell his fishing boat to
pay for hearing aids or continue to struggle with
debilitating hearing loss. Fishing is Said‘s livelihood,
which supports his wife and three young children.

His three older children dissuaded their father
from selling the boat. But Said felt desperately
disconnected from his family and the hearing world.
In a twist of fate Said heard an announcement
about Starkey Hearing Foundation‘s program
providing free hearing aids from a man walking a

donkey through the streets of Lamu.
“My children asked me how we would live if I sold

my fishing boat,” Said stated. “This is the only
source of income we depend on to buy food and
live. I didn’t sell the boat. I waited until you came
with treatment. You saved us. You have helped a lot
of people who are so poor they can’t afford food

day to day.”

Celebrating 20 Years

In 2007, Bill fit a family of 4 teenagers who had profound hearing
loss. They were fit with a power level 10. They had no speech and
all lived with their mother. As they left, WFA worried about them, he
heard that the mother had sold their only cow to pay for their travels
to the mission, so he sent someone back with $100 so they could buy
another cow.
5 years later, the cow people faxed a letter to Starkey in Spanish.
Tani forwarded it to Carla to translate.
The fax was from the mother asking for new headings aids for her
children. The kids had all gone to college and had begun graduating.
They were the success stories that Bill had hoped to hear. All of the
kids are successful and hearing. They have families and graduated
college. They never would have without hearing aids. Changed the
trajectory of 4 children’s lives.
