January 4th 2024- Ms. Namukwaya, who faced judgment for not conceiving after 40 years of trying, celebrated the birth of her first child, expressing gratitude to the Almighty for answering her prayers. Despite societal criticism, she remained steadfast in her faith. While her case is rare, it recalls the 2019 achievement of Erramatti Mangayamma from India, who, at 74, became the world’s oldest mother by giving birth to twins through IVF. Mangayamma, along with her husband of 57 years, Sitarama Rajarao, welcomed two healthy baby girls, marking a notable instance of late-in-life childbirth.
