Support Syrian Refugee Mothers in Turkey

Throughout 2018, Refugee mothers Support to Life has come into contact with has been receiving baby care packs as they needed. 

More specifically, Support to Life often comes into contact through its case management activities, in which vulnerable families or individuals having difficulty accessing basic needs and services are identified, and are referred to relevant institutions. In cases where a mother is in labour or has recently given birth, our field staff provided the mother with a baby care kit, which we also refer to as the “10^th month pack.”

Another context in which women nearing delivery where identified has been through STL’s activities under the domain of migratory seasonal agriculture. STL has been working actively in this domain for many years and the cycle of poverty the agricultural workers face has remained an obstruction to their access to basic sanitation and hygiene. Now, , thanks to our access to additional sources through Globalgiving, our field teams have been able to provide refugee mothers working in seasonal agriculture with 10^th month packs that include hygiene products vital for new-borns’ health.
