Pamera is a 38-year-old woman from Uganda. She lives with her husband, Bernard, and they both work as small farmers growing cassava, beans, maize, and vegetables. In addition to farming, they grow and sell tea to help support their children’s education. Pamera enjoys attending church and teaching her children to pray. In her spare time, Pamera likes to listen to music on the radio.
Pamera is pregnant and expecting her sixth child. Because of her age, the number of children she has had, and her previous C-section, her 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 April 29, 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, Pamera and her baby will be monitored by the hospital staff.
After her delivery, Pamera is looking forward to nursing her baby and returning to work as a farmer. She would like to thank all her donors for their help.
