Jen works as a typist at a school and her husband is a mason; they are expecting their third child this spring.
According to Jen, Lwala Community Alliance is helping her prepare for the new baby by making sure she takes care of herself. She told a Wasti coordinator: “They are supporting me and taught me the importance of coming to the hospital when I give birth. I know that if I am sick or in labor they will come to me quickly.”
Women in the developing world rarely have access to medical care before and during labor; 90% of all maternal deaths in these less developed countries are preventable. For $215, Jen will receive antenatal care, hospital delivery, and a post-natal check-up. Jen is doing what she can, lets see if we can help give her the medical care she deserves.
