Rebecca lost her baby

Our beautiful mama Rebecca is going through one of the horrors that woman can face.. 


She is in lots of pain and we can hardly imagine what she must be going through right now.


Yesterday's ultrasound examination and further diagnoses confirmed that her baby which was 4,5 month old died due to the motorbike accident she had on a Sunday.


Private clinic referred her to the main hospital to do an Uterine Evacuation to take the baby out.


Last night she was in lots of pain so she was admitted to the hospital, but unfortunately she was never provided with bed because the hospital was out of space.

Today she was scheduled to do further x-rays so they can perform the evacuation process. 
Unfortunately hospital was without electricity due to the recent and regular electricity cuts, and she was sent to do the x-ray to a private hospital. 

Our community worker and counsellor Mutaasa Ayob has taken care of Rebecca for the whole time and rushed to his home to get a mattress for her and some bed sheets. He has been there for her since the beginning and we would like to thank him for his care
and the loving and emotional support he is giving her.


Whisper provided finances for all her treatment, water and food, which she could never otherwise afford.


The surgery is schedule for tomorrow.


Rebecca we love you, please be strong!!

A WAY OF INCOME FOR A SINGLE MOTHER - SELLING LOCAL BREW

RE: Community Service in Kivubuka, Kazinga Village - follow up II

The major aim of this visit this time round was to make a profound search for the mother to the children.

The team went straight to check on the children and this is where we got information on the possible location of the mother. After combing the area in this pursuit, we finally found the children's mother leaving about two villages away from the children. At the time we found her, she was involved in local brew selling, which she said she engaged in as a way of making some income. Her average per day is between $1/2 and $1.

We counselled her and advised her to start living with her kids which she agreed to. She promised that within a period of four days, she would move them into her new place.



Observation:
She sells local brew for an income

Costs Involved:
Transport and feeding for the day:     25.000 Sh

Community Service in Kivubuka Village - Follow Up

Community service in Kivubuka, Kazinga Village - Follow up 

On this above date the Whisper Team again made a courtesy call to the child headed family in Kivubuka for a follow up of the activities done on the 7th of March 2012.

Not much had changed when the team arrived, the trio still lay there in a lot of misery and one could clearly see that hunger still ruled his home. This time the team had chance to check the entire house and look at the sleeping conditions of these three kids again, it was pathetic. The children's geldings (tattered pieces of cloths) are all scattered all over the room and there were a lot of fleas.

Attempts to find the mother to the children were made but all to no avail. This was postponed for a later date.

Observation:

• Children sleep on the floor
• The house is full of dust
• The house id dominated by fleas that have sucked the children's blood causing them a lot of anaemia
• The mother takes more than 4 days to come home

Costs Involved:

Transport (taxi + BodaBoda)     20.000 Sh
Water and food for the children   7.000 Sh
Rescue food for the children       3.000 Sh

Whisper Team participants included: Mugabi Emmanuel

Community Work in Kivubuka Village

COMMUNITY SERVICE 7th March 2012

RE: Hagira Kagoya, Bridgette Nangoma, Nicholas Muwanga

Whisper performed a community service for the first time in Kivubuka Village, Budondo, where we found three little marginalised and abandoned children called Hagira Kagoya (girl 3 years), Bridgitte Nangoma (girl 5 years) and Nicholas Muwanga (boy 7 years).

These children lost their father and were survived by their mother who out of frustration bred from single motherhood punctuated by enormous poverty and consequent inability to sustain her children resorted to alcohol use. As a result the children ended up in a child handed home as their mother would spend several days and sometimes weeks away from home. Starvation and total disparity is what there children had been left for, disease and a total breakdown of hygiene and sanitation. 

It is here that the Whisper Service Team came into rescue the situation.

Observation:

Family of three children neglected, abandoned and starving with lots of jiggers in their feet.

Late Fathers' name: Elyekaye Venekent

Mothers name: Tumusabe Agnes

Costs Involved:

Transport (taxi + boda boda)     18.000 Sh

Water + cakes for the team          2.500 Sh

Rescue food for the children       1.500 Sh
