Scovia is a 21-year-old mother from Uganda who is expecting her second child. She works as a subsistence farmer, growing crops such as pepper, carrots, cabbage, and potatoes. During her free time, Scovia enjoys going to church with her family and weaving mats.
Doctors consider Scovia’s pregnancy to be “high-risk” because her first child was delivered by C-section. This increases the likelihood that she will need to deliver her second baby by C-section, as well.
Doctors recommend that Scovia receive medical attention before, during, and after labor to ensure a safe delivery. On July 21, she will begin to receive pre-natal supplements and attend pre-natal checkups and health education classes. She will also be closely monitored during and after her delivery to ensure both she and baby are healthy.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $241 to fund Scovia’s ongoing care.
“I thank the donors for their help with my delivery and will ask God to bless them,” Scovia says.
