Namabiro is able to stand again – Uganda Village Project

Dear Sterling and Melinda,

Namabiro is 30 years old and a mother of four children. She lives in Iganga district in the eastern part of Uganda. Ruth got a fistula when she was giving birth to her fourth child. The Uganda Village Project Fistula Coordinator found her, counseled her, and later enrolled her in the UVP fistula camp. Some fistula cases are more complicated than others, and unfortunately this is true of Ruth’s. Although she has regained her ability to stand with this first surgery, she will have to undergo a second surgery to complete her recovery.

Even with another surgery in her future, she is still grateful that she has had a chance to get this condition fixed and appreciates Uganda Village Project and Sterling and Melinda for providing means for her to be able to begin her journey of recovering.

Thank you for your support.
