Triplets, mother abandoned by dad

A 19-year-old-mother of triplets in Kayuga district is stranded with her sons after their father disappeared.

Jane Aduba has failed to trace the father of her four-month-old babies after he allegedly switched off his known mobile phone number upon giving birth.

Aduba gave birth to premature babies at seven months. She says the babies'father, Rollin Otian, a bodaboda rider of Kenyan origin.

"We just met in Malaba town without telling me the details of his home village. I am at crossroads," Aduba, who met Otian while working at a restaurant, narrates. She was later dismissed from work as the pregnancy developed. 

Aduba, who lost both parents when she was still young, decided to return to her maternal aunt, Rose Akech, a peasant whom she is staying within Kayunga district. 

"I was blessed with triplets but I am not in a bed of roses. I cannot abandon them but I am helpless," Aduba laments. She asks well-wishers, including Sylvia Namutebi is commonly known as Maama Phina, to support her.

Asked what she intends to venture into in case she secures some financial assistance, Aduba dreams of starting a restaurant.

She can be reached on her aunt's mobile numbers 0775909885/0701839699.
