SAVE 1000 WOMEN &BABIES IN NIGERIA;GIVE BIRTH KITS

Greetings Dear Partner,

We waited to send our report on this special Childrens day - 27th May 2022, when the world celebrates children. 

Children are precious and a special gift from God. All the great men and women who have changed the world and impacted lives positively were once children. Thankfully they received adequate care to make it safely to adulthood.

Unfortunately some children born into poor families in Nigeria never make it past infancy due to poor healthcare. This is one the reasons why our project was initiated to support the health of pregnant women and give babies a chance to a healthy start in life. Thanks to your wonderful support we have been providing underprivileged women with relevant  health information, birth kits, treated bed nets and other support to ensure that baies have a healthy start in life. To date we have reached over 500 women with our project.

According to UNICEF there is an intimate link between the survival of babies and the quality of maternal care received by their mothers. We believe that children are the future and they need the nuture and care of their mothers. This is why we will not relent in our efforts to ensure that every woman has access to these basic items and health information. At Nnadozie Foundation we believe that " Every woman desrves a safe delivery and every baby a healthy start no matter where they live". Thank you once again for your support, which is making a huge difference. Please continue supporting and sharing our project with your contacts who can support us.

Happy childrens day! 

Dear Partner,

Greetings from Nigeria! We are pleased to report that we have continued to expand the reach and impact of our project in Nigeria. To date we have reached over 500 underserved women and  more women in rural communities of Abia State continue to receive pregnancy health training, clean delivery kits, treated bed nets and free blood pressure checks. There is now  an emphasis on personal hygiene and regular handwashing to prevent COVID- 19 and other harmful diseases.

The beneficiaries have been greatly impacted by the project as demonstrated by safe child births, improved health outcomes and positivive behaviour change by project beneficiaries. There has also been increased uptake of immunizations and child deliveries in the approved health centres. The clean delivery kits have also provided underserved women with essential items for a clean delivery such as sterile delivery mats, sterile gloves, antiseptic liquid, and much more. Our next outreach is slated to take place in June 2022 and we hope to reach 50 women in Umule community. We remain committed to improving maternal health in Abia State and contribute to the reduction of maternal mortality in Nigeria, which is one of the highest in the world. All these would not have been possible without your kind support. Please  be informed that April little by little which is a funding campaign by GlobalGiving is presently ongoing . We encourage you to take advantage of the matching funds provided by GlobalGiving to increase the value of your donation. Do also spread the words to your contact. We hope you love the pictures of our latest outreach. Thank you, For: Nnadozie Foundation Judith Ukagwu

We are delighted to share that our project is being positioned for greater impact as Virtue Foundation has included our work in the Global health compendium.

Virtue Foundation's Global Health Compendium, is a directory of healthcare NGOs and hospitals working in 72 low and lower-middle income countries, scheduled to be published later this year with Taylor & Francis, one of the world’s leading healthcare publishers. We are excited to let you know that Nnadozie Integrated Development Foundation will be published in their directory. Their team, with the help of machine-learning algorithms took information from our project for this purpose.

Babies are precious and a special gift from God. All the great men and women who have changed the world and impacted lives positively were once babies. Steve Jobs, Oprah, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther king to name a few, were once babies. Can you imagine what the world would have missed if they had died at birth? Many babies with great destinies are born into poor families in Nigeria but unfortunately due to lack of proper maternal care, never make it past infancy. 

Thanks to your wonderful support we have been providing underprivilegd women with relevant information, birth kits, treated bed nets and other support to ensure that baies have a healthy start in life. According to UNICEF there is an intimate link between the survival of babies and the quality of maternal care received by their mothers.

We believe that children are the future and they need the nuture and care of their mothers. This is why we will not relent in our efforts to ensure that every woman has access to these basic items.

At Nnadozie Foundation we believe that  " Every woman desrves a safe delivery and every baby a healthy start no matter where they live".

Thank you once again for your support, which is making a huge difference. Please continue supporting and sharing our project with your contacts who can support us. We may just be saving the next Nelson Mandela!

Mrs. Nkechi, a local woman from Umuahia Nigeria lost her first pregnancy at 5 months. The circumstances surrounding the loss of her pregnancy, could have been avoided if she had been equipped with the right information. Due to her family's financial situation, she was unable to register at an approved clinic for antenatal care, and therefore could not easily recognize danger signs in pregnancy and seek help immediately. The miscarriage was indeed a traumatic experience for her and this made her fearful during her second pregnancy.

All that changed when she participated in Nnadozie Foundation pregnancy health training for underserved women. The training which is organized in rural communities where there is limited access to health care, equips pregnant and nursing women with vital information regarding their health.

During the training, Mrs. Nkechi learnt how to identify danger signs in pregnancy, proper nuitrition, importance of antenatal & post natal attendance, delivery in a health facility, exercise in pregnancy to mention a few. It was indeed an eye opening experience and helped her feel more confident about her second pregnancy.

Many women like her, living in rural communities of Nigeria, lack access to vital information which can help them make informed decisions about their health in pregnancy. Nnadozie Foundation is helping to bridge that gap by mobilizing qualified health professionals to deliver training to the disadvataged women. We also provide clean birth kits for a safe and hygienic delivery.

Thanks to your wonderful support many women and babies are saved simply because they received the right information.

Every woman deserves a safe delivery and every baby a healthy start, no matter where they live.
