Dorine is 28 and about to give birth! She lives with her husband and children in rural Kenya where they farm and run a family business selling beans, tomatoes, dried fish and other items.
Like all mothers, Dorine desperately wants to give her baby the best possible start in life by continuing to visit the hospital in the lead up to the birth and afterwards. However, with so many mouths to feed, health care for her and her unborn baby is prohibitively expensive.
With just $215 from Watsi supporters Lwala Community Alliance cam provide Dorine with prenatal health care; community health worker home visits for training on nutrition, pregnancy risk factors and micro-savings in preparation for the baby; delivery at Lwala Community Hospital and a postnatal check-up for Dorine and her baby.
