Winnie is back to playing with her friends after bowel surgery

2-yr-old Winnie has made a full recovery after her final operation for a serious bowel condition.

Winnie was born with anal stenosis, a condition affecting bowel movements.  The initial operation - a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) - is the reconstructive element of the surgery where Winnie was fitted with a colostomy bag while she recovered and healed.

The second and final operation, performed by Dr John Sekabira, was a colostomy closure.

This condition is a really important operation for us to fund.  Having a colostomy presents huge hygiene challenges and it's hard to source the expensive colostomy bags.

The operation also requires highly specialised skills and there are very few surgeons who can perform this operation. We are so lucky that Dr. Sekabira, the first person to perform such surgery in Uganda, is part of our team.  Dr Sekabira has subsequently trained other surgeons to now perform this operation.

Donation's from our XNRG fundraiser covered all the costs of the actual surgery, medical supplies, hospital stay and post-op care.

On behalf of Winnie and her family thank you for funding is operation.
