Tumusiime is a teacher in Masaka, but due to the COVID-19 lockdown she is not able to work and is at home. Her husband is also a primary teacher at a school in Kampala. She shared that she has had a difficult pregnancy, but is hopeful that the twins she is expecting are healthy. They will be her firstborn children.
Her twins are in a breech position and doctors have recommended she have a c-section to ensure a safe delivery for her and her babies. She now needs help raising $252 for the surgery, which is scheduled for September 15th.
Tumusiime says: “I am looking forward to holding my babies and will try to take care of them well. I will be better when I am supported on my surgery and this will help in continuing with my teaching as schools are opened again.”

Tumusiime underwent a c-section delivery of her twins.
Tumusiime safely had her caesarean section due to her twin pregnancy with the babies in malpresentation. She delivered healthy baby girls weighing 2.2kgs and 2.3kgs respectively. The babies scored 9/10 and 8/10 respectively in the first minute and 10/10 and 10/10 respectively in the next five minutes and are doing very well. Tumusiime will take care of them well, but shared she is afraid whether she will manage breastfeeding them all adequately. The maternal care team has shared guidance and encouragement with her.
Tumusiime told us, “I want to extend my sincere gratitude to you donors for supporting me. I am so privileged for my consideration into the program. I will resume teaching when schools open so that I can have a way of caring for my children.”
