Uganda 19, medical support for a poorly baby.

Our Ugandan representative, Silviano, asked for additional help for his baby, who has a skin infection, and who is just recovering from measles. We were able to send £100, which Silviano used to take the baby and his wife to the doctors clinic in the town, itself an hours travel away on dirt roads.

Compared to Cambodia, rural Uganda is even harder to live in, there’s more disease and infections, and it can be cold at times and at night. You might be able to see through the glass in the office there’s a picture of Jesus on the wall. They do have much faith, and need it, and it’s good that we are here and able to reach them and provide assistance. It’s poignant, that we, here in Sheffield, are able to help answer some of their prayers for help, for support. We’ve paid for a child to be medically cared for, and taken away the fear and powerlessness that otherwise would burden Silviano and his wife.

Silviano wants £300 to put a new tin sheet roof on this building.

In his own words… “The building is to help abandoned children and their mothers, sometimes when rain comes with heavy storms some people’s huts collapse and fall down in our village. I can rescue them to this building because we put some rooms inside it.”
