Kajoina is a housewife from Uganda. She is the mother of seven boys. For two decades, Kajoina and her husband have worked very diligently to support the education of their seven sons. Although three of her sons have recently graduated from college, they continue to live with Kajoina and her husband.
In August of 2016, Kajoina began to experience troubling gynecological symptoms. Daily activities, such as walking or bending over, became difficult. As a result of her worsening condition, she became unable to work in her garden.
At the end of 2016, Kajoina was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia, an outgrowth of tissue in her uterus. On January 3, she will undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy to remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $268 to fund this procedure.
After the surgery, Kajoina hopes to return to her garden and continue growing food for her family of nine.
