Daphine is a small-scale businesswoman. She has a diploma in secretarial studies but was unable to get a job in this field. Together with her husband, she owns and runs a small bicycle spare parts shop to earn a living for their family. They have two children aged 12 and 6 years old. The family shared that they lost two other children to a miscarriage and an unknown illness two days following birth. During her free time, Daphine enjoys spending time with her children.
Daphine is currently expecting a baby and has been receiving antenatal care at Rushoroza Hospital. Doctors recommended she deliver via a Cesarean section because of breech presentation. On November 30th, she came to the hospital after feeling minimal pains from home. If not treated through a C-Section, there is a risk of uterine rupture that could lead to death for both mother and baby; however, with this procedure, doctors can ensure their safety.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMH), is helping Daphine undergo a C-section on December 1st. AMH is requesting $214 to fund this procedure.
Daphine shared, “I pray for a successful surgery, and I hope for a good outcome. I will continue with my business to further develop my family after I recover.”
