Ainomugisha is the ninth born in a family of ten children. She has five brothers, two of which are motorbike taxi drivers, two who are school cooks, and one who is a small-scale farmer. All of her four sisters are married and are also small-scale farmers. Ainomugisha is currently earning a living by weaving sweaters while her husband works at a prominent business man’s farm. But her work has stopped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She and her family share a room in her father in law’s house.
Ainomugisha is currently expecting and her doctors shared that she needs to deliver via cesarean section, otherwise there may be complications like birth asphyxia, a ruptured uterus, or possibly maternal or fetal death. Fortunately our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help. They are requesting $252 to help fund the cost of her C-Section.
Ainomugisha shared, “I expect to deliver a healthy baby and hope to resume with my work of weaving sweaters after the COVID-19 lockdown.”
