Rachel is a 17-year old woman from Uganda. She is pregnant with her first child. To support her five siblings, she works with her mother as a farmer, growing potatoes, cassava, and other crops for consumption. They also grow tea to sell.
Rachel is carrying a high-risk pregnancy and needs hospital care to safely deliver her baby. Beginning on March 20, Rachel will be monitored at Bwindi Community Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is asking for $241 to cover the costs of her care. Rachel has contributed $4 toward her own treatment.
After giving birth, Rachel looks forward to spending time with her friends and relatives, as well as getting back to work to support her family. She thanks the donors for their support.
