Keep our Children's Hospital Open

Whispers Children’s Hospital continues to bring hope to vulnerable children and mothers in our community. Every day, we receive little ones battling malaria, severe anemia, malnutrition, accidents, and chronic conditions like sickle cell disease — along with mothers seeking safe and dignified delivery care. Many of them arrive with no ability to pay, yet they deserve life, healing, and love. Because of your support, we are able to say yes to them.

Malaria remains the biggest health challenge among children we serve. In the past year, we treated over 3,200 malaria cases, with 640 needing admission due to severe complications such as convulsions and life-threatening anemia. Through timely treatment and strengthened emergency care, we have reduced our mortality rate from 8% to 2.3% — a result made possible by your generosity.

Our free sickle cell clinic is a lifeline for over 420 children who depend on us for monthly reviews, lab monitoring, crisis management, and free essential medication. Together with the Blood Bank, we have provided over 850 blood transfusions to critically ill children. Many arrive on the brink of death — but they leave with new strength and renewed hope, at no cost to their families.

The nutrition clinic continues to help children recovering from severe malnutrition. 260 children have been enrolled this year, with more than 1,100 follow-up visits completed. Through therapeutic feeding, supplements, and parental counselling, we are supporting long-term recovery and preventing relapse.

We are also committed to safe motherhood. Many women come to us without access to antenatal care or emergency delivery services. Because of your kindness, we provide safe deliveries, obstetric emergencies, medication, and newborn care — all free of charge. High-risk mothers who could have lost their babies are going home with healthy infants in their arms.

Whispers responds to emergencies 24/7, free of cost. One example is Josiah, a young boy involved in a tragic road accident. He arrived critically injured and required emergency care, imaging, surgery, and medication. Because you gave, Josiah is alive today.

As needs increase, costs continue to rise — yet most families can only afford little or nothing at all. Your support keeps our doors open, our oxygen flowing, our pharmacy stocked, our clinicians ready, and our ambulances running. Every child we save and every mother we protect is a testimony to your compassion.

Thank you for standing with us — you are saving lives every single day.
