Evelyne is a 15-year-old girl from Uganda who is expecting her first child. She lives with her mother and five siblings, and enjoys singing in her church choir.
Because of Evelyne’s age, doctors consider her pregnancy to be high-risk. They recommend that she receive medical attention before, during, and after labor to ensure a safe delivery. Starting June 20, she will begin to receive supplements and attend prenatal check-ups and health education classes. She will deliver her baby in the hospital, and will be monitored after her delivery to ensure that she and her baby are safe.
Although Evelyne’s family is able to contribute $7 to the cost of her care, our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $241 to fund the rest of Evelyne’s pregnancy care.
“Thank you for helping my daughter. There are many of us at home to feed and we did not have the money for a hospital delivery. Now I know my daughter will be taken care of.” Evelyne’s mother says.

Evelyne safely delivered her baby.
Evelyne went into labor two weeks earlier than expected, but fortunately she was staying the Mother’s Waiting Hostel at Bwindi Community Hospital and was able to be taken to the labor suite right away. She delivered a healthy baby boy. She has named her new son Sirach. Both mother and baby are doing well and are back home with their family.
“I am grateful to all the donors for the support given to my daughter so she could have a safe delivery,” says Flora, Evelyne’s mother. “Crops have not been very good this year and we could not afford a hospital delivery. I will ask God to abundantly bless all the donors.”
