FREE HEALTHCARE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN & TEENAGE GIRLS

 Overview

In the heart of Lugbe community, where many families struggle to access even the most basic healthcare services, our project aims to bridge a life-saving gap for pregnant women who are underserved and often unseen.

Though our ultimate goal is to provide comprehensive free antenatal care, medications, basic nutrition support, and safe delivery services, limited funding  we had to reach out with the small we have anyway.

Recent Activity: Small Step, Big Smiles

This month, thanks to the kind contributions of our early donors and volunteers, we organized a mini outreach program for expectant mothers in Lugbe. Here’s what we achieved:

• 6 pregnant women received baby care starter packs, diapers (pampers) which is maternal hygiene essentials.

• We provided basic maternal health advice through one-on-one counseling, focusing on prenatal hygiene, nutrition, and safe delivery tips.

•  Emotional and psychological support was offered to each mother, most of whom expressed deep gratitude, some even in tears and looking moody as they were expecting more from us for their delivery kit and hospital bills, but we offered what we could provide at this time.

Though it was a modest intervention, the relief and joy on the faces of few of these women reminded us why this mission is vital. Many of them have never received any form of antenatal care due to financial hardship, we felt their pains in our heart, we gave them hope.

 Why It Matters

For women in Lugbe, pregnancy is often a time of fear, not joy. No good clinics nearby. No money for transport to the city centers. No access to skilled birth attendants. Many deliver at home, risking their lives and their babies’.

YOUR CONTINUES SUPPORT CAN MAKE CHANGES 

 Challenges

• Limited funds restricted us to reaching only a handful of women.

•  We still lack basic medical supplies, transportation, and funds to hire trained healthcare workers.

• We need better community awareness tools to educate families about maternal health and connect them to resources.

 A Heartfelt Thank You

 To our donors thank you for believing in this vision. Your support, even if small, is the first ripple in a wave of change. You helped create a dignified moment for a woman who felt forgotten. That matters.

 What’s Next

 With more support, we plan to:

1.  Organize a larger maternal outreach to reach 50+ pregnant women.

2.  Provide free antenatal check-ups, vitamins, and safe delivery kits.

3.  Partner with a local midwife to offer community-based prenatal care.

4.  Track outcomes to show impact and grow sustainably.

Together, let’s ensure no woman has to choose between life and poverty during pregnancy.

 Thank you so much
