Meet 14-year-old Millicent! The second born in a family of three children, Millicent and her siblings live with their grandmother on a farm in Kenya. Millicent recently learned she is expecting her first child.
Our medical partner, Lwala Community Alliance (LCA), shares, “Millicent is a happy and an ambitious lady, she says her pregnancy will not deter her from finishing her schooling.” Millicent’s pregnancy has left her unable to currently attend school or complete her chores due to severe pain in her back and lower abdominal area.
According to LCA, Millicent hopes “to rejoin school so that she can complete her education and help improve her family and the community that she comes from.” She also hopes to “have a healthy baby in a health facility.”
For $290, we can ensure that Millicent and her child receive the proper prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care that they deserve!
