“I hope my baby becomes a teacher when she or he grows up,” says Jackline, a 20-year-old expecting mother from Kenya.
Jackie is training to be a dressmaker right now and hopes to one day own her own shop. Her husband is a youth peer. “Jackline and her husband go to the farm together, cook together and clean their house together as a lovely and healthy family,” Lwala tells us. “She likes eating fresh unripe mangoes because of the vinegary taste which prevents her from feeling nausea.”
“Her husband earns a stipend by the end of the month which they use in provision of basic requirements and cannot support the safe delivery cost,” Lwala continues about Jackline.
Here’s how we can help. With $290 Lwala will be able to provide Jackline with prenatal care, a safe delivery, as well as postnatal care. Let’s help this couple bring their baby into the world safely and ensure Jackline is provided all of the care she requires to be a healthy mother.
