Janet is heavily pregnant and due to give birth in April to her second child. Janet comes from a family of Kenyan farmers and they work tirelessly growing sugar cane which they sell to provide a small income on which the entire family lives.
In the last few months Janet has been enrolled in a maternal health program where she learned to prepare a birth plan for her second child. While this education is helpful it is not enough to ensure that Janet and her baby remain safe and healthy for the remainder of the pregnancy and through delivery.
With $215 Lwala Community Alliance can provide Janet with pre-natal care, a safe delivery at their hospital and a post-natal checkup for her and her baby. This care will give Janet’s baby the best possible start in life.
