Muhumuza is a 31-year-old father of three children and farmer from Uganda. He earns a living by cultivating and selling tomatoes and onions. In 2014, Muhumuza noticed a small but painless swelling in his right groin. As the swelling increased in size and grew painful, Muhumuza started using herbs to reduce the pain. Muhumuza reports feeling weak often and experiencing pain when lifting heavy items. At the suggestion of a friend, Muhumuza visited our medical partner’s care center, Holy Family Virika Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. Without treatment, Muhumuza may experience intestinal blockage or damage. Fortunately, on January 11, Muhumuza will undergo a hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund the procedure. After the procedure, Muhumuza hopes to continue farming to support himself and his family.
