26-year-old Akandinda is a kindergarten teacher from Uganda. She and her husband are expecting a baby soon. This is Akandinda's second pregnancy. During her first delivery, "she was operated on due to a contracted pelvis," reports our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). "Unfortunately, she still lost the baby." Due to her condition during her first pregnancy, as well as the scarring from her previous operation, Akandinda needs extra care and attention in order to safely deliver her child. Unfortunately, Akandinda's small income as a teacher and her husband's earnings as a casual worker are not enough to cover the costs of another Caesarian (C-) section. For $160, doctors will perform a C-section in order to safely deliver Akandinda's baby. They will make an incision through Akandinda's abdomen and uterus, "allowing her to have a safe delivery and deliver a live and healthy baby," AMHF tells us. Akandinda and her husband are very hopeful for her operation. "I pray that I deliver my baby healthy and alive," Akandinda shares. "I also pray that I will make it alive after the surgery."
