Twebaze is a subsistence farmer from Uganda and a mother of nine. Her first born is now 38 years old and completed primary school class seven while her last born is 8 years old and is currently in third grade. She and her husband are small-scale farmers, and he also serves as a church catechist.
More than 30 years ago ago, Twebaze began to experience troubling symptoms, including difficulty breathing. She was diagnosed with Multi-Nodular Non-Toxic Goitre and needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Twebaze receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on September 3rd at our medical partner’s care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $293, and Twebaze and her family need your support to cover the cost of the treatment.
“I hope I will be considered for support because my family cannot assist me financially. Given the opportunity, I will proceed with farming to be able to sustain my family, that is, after complete recovery,” shared Twebaze.

Twebaze underwent removal of a multi-nodular goiter.
Twebaze had a successful surgery that helped remove her neck swelling that has been progressively increasing in size for the past 30 years. Through the surgery, she will finally be able to resume farming comfortably. Her husband is also very happy and thankful to both Rushoroza hospital and the Watsi program for the job well done, and that his wife could finally feel and look normal again after so many years. They have now headed home and she is feeling well!
Twebaze told us, “I thank Watsi and Rushoroza hospital for making my surgery a success. I pray to God that the Watsi program may grow and extend to all parts of the world to benefit all the needy people like we have benefited. I am looking forward to comfortably resuming farming as soon as possible.”
