Asiimwe is a 16-year-old young woman from Uganda. In her free time, she enjoys listening to gospel music and visiting her friends.
Asiimwe visited our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, when she was pregnant with her first child. Her doctors considered her pregnancy high-risk, so they recommended that she undergo a C-section delivery. On December 5, Asiimwe checked into the hospital to await delivery.
$241 covers all of Asiimwe’s medical expenses, including four antenatal visits, three nights in the hospital, and one postpartum visit. Asiimwe and Victor are subsistence farmers who grow potatoes, cassava, millet, beans, and maize. They are co-paying $8 to help cover the costs.
Asiimwe is looking forward to nursing and caring for her baby. She hopes to continue farming to support her child’s needs and education.
“May God bless the donors who are supporting my safe delivery,” shares Asiimwe. “I am looking forward to going back home with a healthy baby.”
