Godwin Onyema Maternity Center
Godwin Onyema Maternity Center

We are most excited about the progress we've made in building our maternity center network in rural southeast Nigeria.  We've built and commissioned two solar-powerd centers, with three more planned before the end of the year.

We continue to screen and treat vulnerable pregnant women for anemia every day, and continue to provide safe delivery "mama kits" to 45 rural clinics.  We are also funding the construction of new science laboratories and a meeting hall at Brightland Academy, one of our partner schools in southeast Nigeria.  

We also launched an exciting fundraising campaign. Donors can enter to win an all-eletric Porsche Taycan Turbo and $20,000.  Acclaimed actor and musician Tyrese (Fast & the Furious, Transformers) headlines this campaign for us.
