Debra is a mother who is expecting one more child. Until recently, there wasn’t a clean, safe place for women in Debra’s community to give birth.
Thanks to Lwala Community Alliance, Debra can deliver in a hospital with doctors nearby to help in the event of complications. Life threatening complications occur in 15% of all births, and contribute to the outrageous number of maternal deaths that occur in developing countries.
To sustain her family, Debra owns a business at a local market where she sells tomatoes, onions, and small fish. Her husband works on other people’s farms to earn money for their children’s school fees.
Debra “prays for a safe delivery in a health facility,” and for $215 we can ensure that happens.
