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.
