Namara is a farmer from Uganda. She is a mother and has been separated from her husband for 17 years. Namara supports her only child, a sixth grader, through the income she earns from small-scale farming. She grows food crops to make a living.
For some time now, Namara has been experiencing irregular and heavy bleeding and severe backaches. She has been diagnosed with a premalignant cervical lesion and a left ovarian mass. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Namara’s surgery. On July 14th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Namara will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Namara shared, “I hope to get relieved from all the pain I have been having and resume with farming after I have fully recovered.”
