Nyakamaga is a farmer from Uganda. She is a married mother with six children, three boys and three girls. Two of her boys are construction workers and the other is currently unemployed. Her three daughters are all married and are small-scale farmers. Nyakamaga and her husband earn a living from their coffee and banana planation.
For sometime now, Nyakamaga has been experiencing a severe backache. She has been diagnosed with cervical lesions. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Nyakamaga’s surgery. On July 7th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once she recovers, Nyakamaga will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Nyakamaga shared, “I hope to get much better and that my health will improve after surgery so that I can continue operating my farm.”
