Sarah is a poor single mother with two helpless children,she stays in a very bad, bent and mud house with many cracks.She was married to a man who belonged to the Bakiyende clan in the far eastern part of Uganda.It is believed that all first borns of the Bakiyende clan have to be aborted.Sarah didn't know the tribe of the husband she got married to and the man didn't reveal the secret to her.She conceived and gave birth to two children but when the relatives of her husband discovered where they were staying! they came and wanted to kill her fast born.They ran and settled at our village,she said after two weeks her husband was attacked by evil spirits and he ran away and up to now, he is no where to be found.The evil spirit had started attacking her also but pastor Ben and his team went and prayed for her and she was healed.
Today Sarah's baby,the first born and survivor has eaten a dangerous weed and was brought at the clinic with swollen lips,tongue and reddening of the inner lining of the mouth.We had only a single dose of Hydrocortizone because it is the antidote to this weed and when we gave the child improved.Thanks be to God that now the child feels much better.
Nakabugo 16years old, lost all her parents, was forced by the aunt to get married to a 54year old man who was a moslem polygamous.She came to the clinic because she was not feeling well. She had most of the signs of pregnancy.We tested for pregnancy and she was pregnant already.we examined her,we also counseled her and tested her for the Hiv/Aids,only to diagnose she was HIV positive. It was very hard for us to council this young lady,we had to hire a senior counselor to council her.
