Nancy is a hardworking farmer and soon to be mother. She works long days harvesting maize, beans, and potatoes and sells her crops at a local market in Kenya. Her husband is a day laborer who weeds neighboring farms; together they support their family.
Although Nancy’s family relies on her work for their livelihood, Nancy has experienced pain in her lower abdomen and thighs during her pregnancy and is having difficulty working in the fields. She prays for a safe delivery but her family cannot afford the cost of care in a health facility.
For $215, we can ensure that Nancy gives birth in a local health facility under the care of medical professionals. This fee will also include the cost of advanced medical care, if needed, for both mother and baby.
