Moreen is a 24-year-old woman and is expecting her fourth child with her husband, Medard. Because she has had a previous C-section, Moreen’s 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. On January 24, she will begin to receive supplements and attend antenatal checkups and health education classes. She will deliver her baby in the hospital, and she will undergo a C-section if necessary. After birth, Moreen and her baby will be monitored by the hospital staff.
Moreen and Medard are raising their children in a small village in the mountains of southwest Uganda. She works as a farmer, growing rice, cassava, and ground nuts for her family. Medard works as a porter and a guide for local tourists. Two of their children are in school, and one is at home with Moreen.
In her free time, Moreen enjoys going to church, listening to radio programs, and visiting with her relatives. She also like to weave baskets, making her favorite patterns in black and white colors.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $241 to fund Moreen’s care. Moreen and her family are subsidizing $4 of the hospital costs.
Moreen thanks the donors for their support.
