Alice is a hardworking farmer living in Kenya. She is 34-years-old and very excited to be expecting a child, but has been experiencing severe stomach aches during her pregnancy which make it difficult to work her typical long days in the field.
Maternal and child health workers from our partner at Lwala Community Alliance have been visiting Alice to monitor her stomach pains and teach her about what symptoms to be aware of that warrant emergency care. Although Alice is sleeping under mosquito nets and being very careful with her health, she cannot afford the cost of giving birth in a health facility and is worried that her stomach pains may lead to complications during delivery.
We can make sure that Alice gives birth in a health facility under the supervision of trained medical professionals. For $215, expert clinicians will attend the delivery of Alice’s baby and be available to provide advanced care should any complications arise. Let’s put Alice’s mind at ease and ensure that she and her baby have access to high quality healthcare.
