Meet Emmaculate. She’s 22-years-old, a wife, and a loving and caring mother to three children. Emmaculate’s husband works as a laborer to support the family while Emmaculate spends her time taking care of household duties and listening to advice from her elders.
“Emmaculate says she feels the fetus moves and kicks her belly after walking for a while,” our medical partner, Lwala Community Alliance, tells us about her current pregnancy. “She is expecting her fourth child and hoping for a baby girl so that she can have two boys and two girls…”
As she prepares for her baby’s future, the first thing on Emmaculate’s mind is to ensure a safe delivery for her newborn in a health facility. “After a successful delivery, I will sell some of my farm produce to start a small business and ensure that my children are provided with the basic needs,” she says.
With $290, we can provide Emmaculate prenatal care, a safe delivery in a hospital, and a postnatal care after her baby is born.
