Dear GlobalGiving Family,
We are overjoyed to share the latest update from the field, and it’s one of life, hope, and safe beginnings. Since our last report, Omega Global Development has supported 59 mothers and newborns through our Baby Bag Initiative!
These mothers received not only essential maternal care and health education but also our signature “Baby Bags”—filled with newborn clothing, sanitary pads, soap, diapers, and a prayer cloth, gifts that represent dignity and care. In Guinea-Bissau, where the birth rate stands at 31.87 births per 1,000 people, too many women still give birth without access to skilled care or clean birth supplies. But your support is changing that.
We are thrilled to report that every baby who received a Baby Bag was born without complications. This is a remarkable sign that our prenatal education and delivery support efforts are making a tangible difference in maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
What Your Support Made Possible
59 mothers and babies supported
Zero birth complications were reported among the babies who received our care kits.
We observed an increase in clinic visits among expectant mothers trained through community outreach.
Safer deliveries in partnership with local midwives and clinics.
Thank You for Being Part of Every Safe Birth
Your generosity is saving lives. Each mother we serve reminds us of the power of community, and each newborn is a sign of hope for the future.
With deep gratitude,
LaShelle and the Omega Global Development Team
