Janet is a 25-year-old teacher from Uganda. She recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education. Her husband is also a recent graduate teaching at a private secondary school. They married in July 2022 and have rented a two-room house. Janet is currently expecting her first child. Her doctors recommended that she deliver via a caesarean section because of a placentae abruptio condition. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Janet undergo a C-Section on May 11th. This procedure will cost $214, and Janet needs your support. Janet says, “I pray for a successful surgery. I hope to find a suitable teaching job after recovery.”

Nhoeb is a 67-year-old retired rice farmer from Kompong Cham province in Cambodia. She has three sons, four daughters, and ten grandchildren. Nhoeb's husband is a monk and he and Nhoeb live in the pagoda, where Nhoeb helps with the cooking. About two years ago, Nhoeb developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She experiences discomfort and, because of her impaired vision, she is uneasy about going out on her own. When Nhoeb learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours to seek treatment. On April 26th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After recovery, Nhoeb should fully regain her ability to see clearly. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Nhoeb shared: "I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly again. I want to easily cook and read again."
