Moreen is a 22-year-old woman from Uganda who’s expecting her second child. She and her husband work as farm laborers and grow various crops. The couple also sells oil, salt, and soap to support the family. During Moreen’s free time, she enjoys weaving mats with intricate patterns and visiting her mother-in law.
Doctors consider Moreen’s pregnancy to be high-risk because her first child was delivered by C-section. This increases the chance that she will need another C-section for her second child. Doctors recommend that Moreen receive medical attention before, during, and after labor to ensure a safe delivery. On April 18, 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, Moreen and her baby will be monitored by the hospital staff.
Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $241 to fund hospital monitoring for Moreen.
Moreen is very grateful for the support she will receive. She says, “I was worried about the costs of having this second baby, but when I learned about the Watsi program from the health worker, I hoped they could help me. I thank the donors for their support and appeal to them to keep helping people who need it.”
