Meet Immaculate, a 23-year-old woman from rural Uganda. Immaculate enjoys going to church and meeting with other women in her community.
Immaculate and her husband, Barnabas, are subsistence farmers who grow beans and potatoes. Barnabas also facilitates business between the farmers and buyers in the village.
During the delivery of her first child, Immaculate developed an uncomfortable condition in a sensitive area. She experiences discomfort and urinary dysfunction. On October 24, Immaculate underwent a repair surgery at our medical partner’s hospital, Bwindi Community Hospital. Now, she needs help to fund this $547 procedure.
