Imagine a pregnant woman laying on a barefloor, while a bare-handed traditional birth attendant takes delivery of her baby. This is common practice in most rural parts of Abia State where they lack access to essential items to have a hygienic delivery. Nnadozie Foundation is working hard to prevent this by providing clean delivery kits containing items such as absorbent sterile delivery mats, sterile hand gloves, liquid antiseptic, coed clamps among others to ensure that women have their babies delivered under hygienic conditions. This will prevent infections and possible death.
We are excited to report that the impact of our project is being felt in the lives of our project beneficiaries and community. Some of our project beneficiaries have put to bed safely and thus far, there has been no report of any delivery-related infections.
Mrs.Oluch of Olokoro, delivered a handsome baby boy and both mother and child are healthy and strong. The items in the delivery kit, ensured that the risk of infection during delivery was greatly reduced. The pregnancy health training which she received also equipped her with vital information that contributed to her well being during pregnancy.
Mrs Nkechi of Umunemeze Afugiri, Ozioma of Umuekwule Okpuala and Ifeoma of Umunemeze also delivered their babies safely to mention a few. (Note: In order to protect the privacy of our beneficiaries , we have changed their real names)
We continue to monitor our beneficiaries to obtain feed back on the impact of the project. Our next outreach is slated for October 2020. Subject to availability of funds, we hope to reach many more women
We remain commited to providing each underserved woman in the community the basic items, that can ensure a hygienic delivery.
Thanks to you, these women and newborns have been protected from infections during delivery; thereby giving the new borns a healthy start and the mothers a good chance to stay alive and watch their babies grow,
We thank you once again for your kind donation and urge you to continue to support this project.
Kindly share this project with your friends and contacts to help us get more support.
