"I am happy to say that I have a great husband. He works very hard for our four children and for me. Especially for me. Since giving birth to my children I have developed a horrible pain in my lower body that refuses to go away. Because of my pain I am not able to work. My husband is a borda driver and taxis people around on a motorcycle. He does not own the motorcycle and at the end of the day must give most of the money he has earned to the owner. What we have left after that is very little. We have no money for school fees for our children. The money we have is used to take me to the hospital. After many times being at the hospital, the doctors are still clueless as to what might be wrong with me. I just want to feel well so that I can help my husband and send my children to school. Please pray for me."
-Good health care for women in villages is very rare in Uganda. Though a health center may be near, it can be costly for them to go. For example, a woman giving birth must BRING with her to the hospital four pairs of plastic gloves, a large plastic bag or sheet to lay underneath her, a large amount of cotton, and whatever else she thinks she may need. Nothing is provided. Though the cost for these materials ends up being less than $10, most women cannot afford that. Many of these women are left with horrible complications after childbirth that can cause life long pain and even death. Please pray for Namudiba and women like her who have severe medical conditions with little hope of comfort or healing. Our God is a god of miracles.
