Abenitwe is a 14-year-old student from Uganda. He is currently in primary seven at school, and his three siblings are also studying in school. His mother is a small scale farmer, while his father is studying laboratory assisting and reporting.
For the last year, Abenitwe has had a protruding polyp in a sensitive area that has been increasing in size. He experiences pain when passing stool and often experiences bleeding and discomfort.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Abenitwe receive treatment. He is scheduled to undergo a mass excision procedure on January 12th at our medical partner’s care center. This procedure will cost $196 and will significantly improve his quality of life. Now, Abenitwe and his family need help raising money.
Abenitwe shared, “I’m looking forward to going back to school after I’ve recovered and the schools are reopened.”

Abenitwe’s mother said: “My son has been suffering from this over the years and as a parent, I had totally lost peace, but I’m now happy to see that I can now also take a nap and rest after having seen that he is fine now. I hope that he will continue to get better and resume with school once schools are reopened.”
