Jecinter is expecting her first child. She lives with her parents in Kenya, and is hoping for a safe delivery so that she can return to school and continue her education.
Jecinter's parents grow crops and vegetables to feed their family. They sell any surplus to pay for Jecinter's school fees but cannot afford the cost of delivery in a health facility.
For $215, we can make sure Jecinter gives birth in a health facility under the care of trained doctors. She will also receive training in hygiene practices for her newborn and receive regular follow-ups from community health workers to ensure longterm health.
