Twinomuhangi is a 63-year-old woman from Uganda. She and her husband are farmers and they have five children who are all married.
For a year, Twinomuhangi has experienced postmenopausal bleeding, abdominal pain, and discomfort. She was diagnosed with partial uterine prolapse with an anterior cystocele. Because of her condition, she has difficulty farming.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Twinomuhangi receive treatment. On June 9th, she will undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus, at AMH’s care center. Now, AMH is requesting $219 to fund Twinomuhangi’s procedure. Once recovered, she will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Twinomuhangi shared, “I hope to get treated, heal and continue with farming because it’s only this condition that has stopped me from working.”

Twinomuhangi underwent treatment for uterine prolapse so she can continue working.
Twinomuhangi’s condition continued to become more severe and so undergoing surgery will have a big impact on her life. She had a successful hysterectomy, which has already relieved her of her back pain and lower abdominal pain. She hopes to recover completely now that she is home and get back to her day-to-day usual duties and a better life ahead.
She shares her appreciation, “I came here in deep pain but now look at me, you can’t even know that I have ever fallen sick. I have nothing to pay you back in return, only pray to God to bless you in whatever you do. I will continue with farming since am now fine.”
