Grace is a 15-year-old student from Uganda. “Grace still lives at home with her parents and has completed grade six. She is hoping to going back to school after her baby is born. Her favorite subjects are health science and mathematics. She would like to finish secondary school and then go on to train in a health science field, such as nursing or midwifery. When she is not in school, Grace enjoys hair braiding and hair styling,” explains our medical partner, the Kellermann Foundation. Grace is carrying a large baby and she needs a caesarean section in order to ensure a safe delivery and avoid complications such as a fistula (an abnormal connection between organs, in this case the vagina and rectum). $303 will fund not only Grace’s C-Section, but also her antenatal care, anesthesia, an ultrasound, and a five-day hospital stay. Grace is subsidizing the treatment with $8 of her own funds, but, as a single mother, she needs additional financial support to make this operation possible. Let’s help Grace ensure a safe birth!
