Sweet Mother Program worked with 21 health centres, 2 community traditional birth attendant groups and 1 faith-based maternity in Ogun and Kaduna state. We gave out 21 health talks in the last 5 months. The total number of birthing kit distributed was 968 to pregnant women, 261 birthing kit to traditional birth attendants and the nurses received 307 birthing kit. Also, HEDEN dispensed 60 bottles of prenatal vitamins to pregnant women.
Mr Obinna in Ogun state accompanied is wife to the health centre during her labour and expressed his appreciation. He said that the nurses told him to bring the baby loads, but due to his excitement, he saw the birthing kit that his wife received, and he picked it up and brought it to the health centre. On getting to the health centre, the nurses made fun of him, but the nurses collected the birthing kits. He was sent back home to bring the whole delivery bag. By the time he arrived, his wife had already given birth with the help of the birthing kit he had brought earlier.
At Buwaya, Kaduna state, a nurse told HEDEN staff that she received a call from someone to deliver a woman who went into labour on a farm. The nurse was off duty and had to rush to a nearby chemist to get some delivery items. Unknown to her the pregnant woman had her birthing kit from our organization in her bag. That was what the nurse used to take the delivery.
The distribution of birth kit by HEDEN in Kaduna state has encouraged more pregnant women to go for anti-natal. It also reduces the cost of things they need to purchase for delivery. Also, they have something to go home with and tell their neighbours.
Your donations give assurance that more babies of low-income mothers have safer deliveries and healthy birth weight as newborns. Your donation pays for transport to the hard-to reach health centers to deliver free health products to mothers. Our impact is because of your donations. So, it is your success story.
