Margret is a 68-year-old farmer from Uganda. Margret and her husband, John, are small farmers and support their family through farming. John is a retired primary teacher, and they have seven children.
Margret has been diagnosed with a fistula, an abnormal condition in a sensitive area. She experiences a lot of pain, and she is unable to perform daily work as a leader in her choir at church. She needs to undergo a fistula repair surgery.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $547 to fund this treatment, which will be performed on February 3. $8 were subsidized by Margret. She is looking forward to continuing with her farming and hopes to go back to church.
Margret says, “I am very thankful for the support Watsi is giving and helping many people get treatments. Thanks to the donors for the support. May God bless you.”

Margret underwent gynecological surgery.
Because the previous surgery Margret had for her cystocele was performed improperly, it took her quite a bit longer to heal from her fistula surgery than is normal. Fortunately, she is now doing much better. She is healing and getting ready to go home.
This has been a long ordeal for Margret and her family, especially her husband, John. This is the longest they have been apart since they were married, and he misses her! After she has her strength back, Margret is looking forward to singing in her church choir again.
She says, “My family and I are so grateful for the help we received from Watsi and from the wonderful medical staff at the hospital. As soon as I can, I will give thanks in church for this support. Thank you to all the donors. Words do not express my feelings.”
