Dear Donors,
We sincerely thank the donors who have supported the Safe Transport for Pregnant Women in Emergencies project. Your kindness shows concern for women who face serious risks during childbirth in rural communities. We truly appreciate the support received so far, however, the funds available at this time are still not enough to begin setting up the transport system.
In many rural areas, women in labour struggle to reach health facilities due to lack of transport. Poor roads, long distances, and the absence of vehicles make it difficult to get help on time, especially during emergencies at night or in bad weather.
These delays can lead to serious complications, loss of life, or unsafe deliveries outside health facilities. Families are often left without any reliable way to respond when urgent care is needed.
This project is designed to create a local emergency transport network using trained drivers with motorcycles or tricycles. A simple call system will allow families to reach help quickly when a woman is in labour or distress.
With this system in place, more women can reach care in time, reducing risks during childbirth and improving safety for both mother and child.
We are grateful for the support already shown toward this effort. With additional contributions, it will be possible to begin setting up this life saving service for communities in need.
Sincerely,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
