Turyatemba is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. He is married and a father of ten children.
For ten years, Turyatemba has had a bilateral inguinal hernia. This causes him pain and discomfort and if not treated, he may suffer intestinal tissue damage. Fortunately, on May 17, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Turyatemba’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably.
Turyatemba says, “I hope to get better and have no pain after surgery. I will continue with cultivation.”
