Agatha is a humble and gentle young woman from Uganda. She lost both parents when she was still young but managed to complete primary school. Unfortunately, she could not proceed with further education due to a lack of school fees. As the firstborn in a family of three, she stayed at home, farming and taking care of her siblings until she found a partner and married at the age of 20 years.
Currently, Agatha earns a living through farming, while her husband is constructing traditional houses made of mud and reeds. Her husband also engages in farming to ensure they have enough to feed the family. They reside in a two-roomed, semi-permanent muddy house. However, with their income, they can only sustain their family but cannot raise the money needed for Agatha’s delivery.
She is currently expecting her third child and her doctors recommended that she deliver via a cesarean section. This precaution is taken to prevent complications such as uterine rupture, which could be fatal or affect her health significantly if she attempts to deliver without this care.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Agatha undergo a C-section on December 19th. This procedure will cost $252, and Agatha needs your support.
Agatha says, “I am financially unstable, and when I heard of the possibility of support, I decided to seek help for a healthy delivery.”
