Esther is a 24-year-old woman from Uganda. She is a farmer who grows cassava, beans, groundnuts, potatoes, millet, and bananas. Her husband, Ventra, builds houses. They live in a village ten kilometers from our medical partner’s hospital, Bwindi Community Hospital. Their two children are in school.
Both of Esther’s children were delivered via C-section. When she became pregnant with a third child, her doctors advised her to undergo another C-section to ensure a safe delivery. Esther plans to check into the hospital on January 2, where she will deliver her baby. She needs $333 to fund this procedure.
During her free time, Esther weaves baskets and mats, sings in her church, plays with her children, and visits her relatives. She looks forward to a safe delivery. In the future, she plans to support her children’s education.
“I am so grateful to the donors for loving and caring for me through paying for my safe delivery,” says Esther.
