Evelyne is pregnant and hoping for a safe delivery, but the odds are against her. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where Evelyne lives, 1 in 39 women are likely to die in childbirth. There’s a higher risk of her baby dying than anywhere else in the world.
Lwala Community Alliance can provide Evelyne with essential healthcare that will change those odds in her favor. $215 will cover clinical antenatal care, several home visits, a hospital delivery and a post-birth checkup.
Like most mothers, Evelyne wants her children to grow up healthy, educated, and able to live up to their full potential. “I hope my children will stay healthy and alive. If the children are healthy they can be educated. After they are educated they can get a good job to sustain themselves.” The first step in helping her achieve this dream is a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
