Meet 48-year-old Kyomukama. She lives with her husband and nine children in Uganda. Kyomukama and her husband work as farmers to support their family.
Kyomukama started experiencing discomfort in a sensitive area in 2008. After seeking treatment many times over the years, she was eventually diagnosed with uterine prolapse, a medical condition in which the uterus slips from its normal position. This can occur after pregnancy as a result of weakened pelvic floor muscles and supporting tissue. Without surgical intervention, Kyomukama is at risk of developing a serious infection.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, has scheduled Kyomukama for an uterine prolapse repair surgery on September 7. The total cost of the procedure is $287.

Kyomukama underwent uterine prolapse repair surgery.
Kyomukama’s surgery was a success. She is no longer at risk of getting infections or experiencing pain and discomfort. After recovery she will be able to do her domestic chores and resume farming.
She says, “I am now feeling better. I have high hope that I am going to be fine in time. I had spent many years with this condition I didn’t expect to have surgery because I had no money. After recovery I will continue with farming and do any simple work around my home. I am very thankful and grateful to Watsi. I have seen many people being helped. Keep up the spirit of helping. I have nothing to give in return. God bless you.’
