Ensure Safe Pregnancy and Childbirth in Kenya

First of all, we would like to thank you, on behalf of the Maisha Foundation, our women and babies for your contribution to our campaign to ensure dignity during pregnancy and childbirth in Kenya.

Thanks to your contribution, we have been able to support 40 mothers, their unborn children, and their newborns through June 2026. Your donation has been used to cover prenatal check-ups, ultrasounds, medications, births and emergencies, among other expenses. 

These past months have presented significant challenges due to strikes by public health personnel and the subsequent increase in hospital service prices. In this difficult context, your contribution has been invaluable in allowing us to continue supporting vulnerable mothers and newborns who might otherwise lack access to essential medical care.

How was your donation used until June 2026?

• The total mothers benefited are 40 and their newborns or unborn children.
• We have welcomed 20 babies through natural delivery and 11 babies delivered by c-section.
• We have carried out 71 ultrasounds to find out the health of the baby and the weeks of gestation of the new mothers that enter in the Maisha Center.
• We covered 9 long-term hospitalizations. All babies and mothers are in perfect condition.
• Our mothers or babies attended 161 regular neo natal check ups, consultations and examinations to treat some health problem. Example: urinary infection, colds, etc.
• 13 pregnant women were covered by local health insurance (SHA) for one year.
• Due to strikes by public health personnel, 5 births were attended to in a private hospital.

All this effort has meant an expense of 11,093 USD. Thank you very much for being part of this work! We will continue to strive to bring dignity to Kenyan women and their children.

With all the love, Maisha Foundation Family.
