1 in 30 pregnancies results in the death of the mother or the infant within the first two years.

The Ongoing Need

Better health care is needed for expectant and postpartum mothers, as well as young infants while their immune systems develop.

This project is to construct a facility specifically for mothers and children on a plot of land near the local medical clinic.

Please help us provide the proper care to these young mothers and babies so that they have an opportunity to see a better tomorrow.





The proposed facility will be approximately 1,400 square feet and include a delivery room, two acute care rooms with a total of five beds, an examination room, a consultation room, restrooms, and a waiting room. It will be led by a midwife with nursing assistants staffed by the nearby medical clinic.
