Zaamukunda is a 45-year-old woman from Uganda. She is a mother of two children: a boy and a girl.
For two years, Zaamukunda has had a swelling in her epigastric region, which has progressively increased in size. In June 2017, Zaamukunda started experiencing pain after eating and feeling the urge to vomit. She was diagnosed with an epigastric hernia, but she has no funds for surgery. If not treated, Zaamukunda may develop hernia twisting and blocking.
Fortunately, with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, Zaamukunda is scheduled to receive her surgery on September 20.
Now, she needs help raising $249 to pay for surgery. After surgery, she hopes to have peace of mind and resume her farming.

Zaamukunda underwent a hernia repair.
Zaamukunda’s hernia repair was a success. She is no longer at risk of getting hernia obstruction and strangulation. After surgery, she will be able to do her domestic work and any simple work at her home.
She says, “I am now much better. I have high hopes that I am going to heal very well. After recovery, I will be able to resume farming and do any work around my home. I had no hopes of having surgery because I had no money to pay for myself. I had spent so many years with this condition. Thank you so much Watsi for paying for my surgery.”
