Jane is a radiant woman who is expecting a child any day now. She wants to give her new baby the best chance at being healthy.
Jane has been doing what she can to prepare, including attending the maternal health program at Lwala Community Alliance, but she is nervous. Most mothers in her region of the world give birth at home, without access to emergency medical services. Of all the births that occur in the world, 15% of them result in life-threatening emergencies, and for women who cannot afford basic maternal care, that often results in fatality. 99% of all maternal deaths occur in the developing world.
Jane wants nothing more than a healthy family. $215 will provide the crucial medical care an expectant mother needs to deliver a healthy baby. The money raised here will cover Jane’s antennal care, a hospital delivery and post-birth checkup for mom and baby.
