Pearl Integrated Development Agency (PIDA)-Uganda is working to improve maternal health among rural young girls and women in Busia district Eastern Uganda, targeting pregnant women and girls in secondary school. Your donation will provide 800 mother delivery Kits to connect women in need of the ultra affordable sterilized supplies they require at childbirth.
Every day in a remote village in Busia district Eastern Uganda, hundreds of mothers and babies die at childbirth. Many moms in villages give birth at home, which is a risk to them and their babies, a big part of the problem is the lack of access to sterile supplies in rural communities where a big number of women live and work as well as the broken healthcare chain affecting those areas. The traditional birth attendants severing umbilical cords with rusty blades infecting babies with tenants.
We will provide sterilized ultra affordable delivery kit containing essential supplies a woman requires at childbirth to ensure she has a clean, safe and hygienic delivery. We will work to ensure every baby gets an opportunity to live his or her potential and every other gets the opportunity to watch her baby grow.
With our mothers delivery kit, traditional birth attendants will cease to use rusty blades and glass to severe umbilical cords, they will now have access to scalpel blades, midwives in rural communities will no longer have to use their mouth to suck out mucus to prevent birth asphyxia, they will now use a mucus extractor, a woman giving birth will no longer lay on the bare floor or use a plastic bag sterilized with salt, she will be lying on our sterilized absorber.
