In conclusion the impressive success achieved by Maryam Endowment Fund in the execution of this gigantic humanitarian project is indeed self-gratifying. The entire beneficiaries of the exercise were poor people. Majority of them were old and vulnerable to so many old-age diseases due to their frailties. In fact, some of them had to be carried over the backs of their children or grandchildren to the theater room where they were operated upon. If not for the timely humanitarian assistance of Maryam Endowment Fund which God brought to those underprivileged rural dwellers and whose daily survival pursuit was a herculean task, majority of them would have spent the rest of their lives permanently blind. Overwhelming encomiums were poured on the Founder of Maryam Endowment Fund, Alhaji Sani Zangon Daura, CON, Dan Masanin Daura. They prayed to Allah (SWT) to reward him, the Medical Team and all those behind the initiation of the programme.
