Sharon is a mother from rural Uganda. She and her husband, Moses, have two sons. Sharon visited our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, when she was pregnant with her third child.
Sharon’s two sons were both delivered via C-section. Because she was past term, her doctors decided to perform an elective C-section to deliver her new daughter. Sharon checked into the hospital on November 29 to await delivery.
Sharon and Moses are small farmers who grow bananas, corn, and coffee. They also keep poultry and collect eggs. Sharon enjoys teaching her sons how to farm. During her free time, Sharon weaves tablecloths to sell to other members of her community. She told our medical partner that she planned to name her baby Ainembabazi, which means “God is gracious.”
“I wish to thank the donors for the support they render to needy people,” says Sharon. “Many mothers face challenges as a result of delivering at home. May God continue to bless you.”
