When he dumped me, I found out I was pregnant, Life was tough for me- Woman cries, Pleads Chinese lover to return

A Ugandan woman, Joyce Chebet Fatuma, has shared her painful story of being abandoned by her Chinese lover while she was pregnant.

In an interview with NBS TV, Joyce recounted how she became hopeless and fell into poverty after her partner left her when she was just one week pregnant with their son, now named Isaiah Kiplangat Chan.

She explained how she struggled to survive, often unable to feed herself or her child, and even slept in a church with her baby because they had nowhere else to go.

She said: “When Chan was very young, I slept in the church with him. Life was tough, but I left everything to God. That is how we started life, and we have continued until now.

“You can work from 6am to 6pm only to be paid KSh 52; at that time, I had nowhere to sleep. We used to survive on street water.”
