Serving or giving back to our community is one of Teheca ’s strong emphasis and priorities. In that line we encountered a situation that had to be addressed, Mr. Sseruuma Swaib 68, a resident of Gayaza, Kasangati got paralyzed earlier this year due to hypertension attack. He has been bedridden close to five months, currently he is under the care of one Salma his daughter who is a new  mother with a two months old baby , she had to abandon her vegetable vending business.

It’s quite challenging to take care of her loving father and her newborn who was diagnosed with hernia all at the same time given the limited resources. “The cooking, washing, feeding, the sick baby that needs special attention too…by the break of the day I am very tired like you can ever imagine” Said Salma.

This was brought to our attention by one of our community coordinators so our community support project team arranged to go give a hand.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning when TEHECA team arrived at Mr. Sseruuma’s residence comprising of our very own Dr. Hamzah, Hassan our PCA, Mrs. Lorna M head PCA and community coordinator, Asha and Tsaubah.

We do a number of activities like bathed the patient, cleaned his room, changed his catheter, prepared him a healthy meal, helped with the washing and had a moment to chat him up as we did physiotherapy which was the most important part of the day. By the time this was all done in the bright afternoon, our patient was smiling and couldn’t hide the happiness he felt.

What a fruitful day it was to serve the community with an impact!
