Healthcare to Save Mothers and Babies

The recent news of the Omicron variant puts the most vulnerable members of Darfur at great risk. Covid in any variant is even more dangerous where there is no healthcare. 

The lack of healthcare in Darfur is a constant threat, especially to children and pregnant mothers. In the villages of North Darfur, there is no health care.  If you cannot get to the regional capital El Fasher where there is a hospital then you go to Mallit - often many miles across the sand.

Can you imagine a loved one contracting Covid, and being unable to get them the urgent medical care that is needed in order to survive?   There is no diagnosis, no treatment - the hospital at Mellit has no oxygen or ventilators - so prevention has to be what people rely on. 

The villages of Darfur rely solely on the Midwives and First Aid workers that Kids for kids train. During the last surge of the pandemic, these Midwives and First Aid workers are the people that helped inform and educate the people in their villages and made a huge difference in the prevention of the virus. 

It costs Kids for Kids $2,700 to train a Village Midwife and to provide her with a smart white tobe (sari uniform) and leather sandals. Will you help us bring healthcare in the form of Village Midwives and First Aid Workers to the many villages that are in need? They form such an impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in Darfur and are the only real way we can offer support during these trying times. 

Your donation today will help save lives and are so needed in light of the news of the Omicron variant. Help support our Midwives and First Aid workers in the continuous fight against Covid.
