Over half of the world’s population living without access to essential healthcare services,

Whilst the maternity mortality rate is dropping, there is still a major problem. With over half of the world’s population living without access to essential healthcare services, expectant mothers and children are facing real problems. There is a clear disparity between wealthy countries and families and poor families; we firmly believe healthcare should not be dependent on how much you earn.

In 2017, 5.4 million children under the age of five died and the risk of infantile death is eight times higher in Africa than it is in Europe. Alongside that, the same study revealed that globally 810 expectant mothers died every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy a child birth. Perhaps even more shockingly, 94% of all maternal deaths occurs in low and lower-middle income countries. 

The choice of life and death should not be dependent on the overall wealth of your family or the country you live in. We want every mother to experience the joy raising a child is and with your help we can provide essential healthcare services to mothers around the world.

SAFE DELIVERY

Safeguarding the health of expectant mothers and young children from disease is one of the world’s most urgent priorities. Over 50% of the entire world’s population does not have access to essential healthcare and every year in under-developed countries millions of expectant mothers die from complications with pregnancy or in child birth, whilst millions of babies die in the first few months of their lives.

We not only provide the equipment and services needed to ensure a safe delivery but also provide trained professionals to provide assistance. We have helped support hospitals with medical equipment, access to laboratories and operation theatres as well as training gynaecologists and GP services 24 hours a day. A safe delivery costs just £150 so whatever you can afford to donate will help bring another baby into the world. Your donations are saving lives with safe deliveries and medical care for expectant mothers and babies. We supported 15,000 patients across two hospitals in Pakistan in 2022.

INCUBATORS

Since 2013, we have worked with hospitals across Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Kenya and Yemen by delivering 125 neonatal incubators to those areas that needed them most, helping to save the lives of over 40,000 premature babies 

In many countries, hospitals do not have the relevant trained doctors or equipment such as incubators. Those that did are forced to share a single incubator amongst three or four premature babies. An incubator is a vital tool in helping preterm babies survive by providing them with a warm and safe environment with in which they can healthy grow. 

Last year, we were able to successfully install 14 incubators in needy hospitals (11 in Pakistan and 3 in Uganda). Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help us reach our goal and prevent the heartbreak young mothers are currently experiencing.
