Reducing Maternal and Infant Mortality in Uganda

By Isaac Musalirwe | Project Leader

Thank you our donors for the generous support and contributions towards helping stop mothers and children dying at child birth.

Every day in Uganda, 16 women lose their lives due to complications related to childbirth, and 10 out of every 100 babies are stillborn. Sadly, over 67% of births happen without skilled medical supervision, and many health centers lack the resources and trained staff needed to provide proper care. This stark reality underscores the urgent need for improved maternal and infant healthcare in the country.

Through your support, we have been able to save lives of children and mothers. Our antenatal classes, including free Lamaze classes every Sunday, equip mothers with essential knowledge about their pregnancy and childbirth. These classes reduce anxiety, increase confidence, and ensure that women are well prepared for labour and delivery. We are with them every step of the way, offering support and guidance throughout their pregnancy journey.

In the last three months, we have successfully delivered 40 babies. Many of these babies, who would otherwise have been at risk, have also benefitted from our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where we provide critical care.

In addition, we’ve cared for 20 premature babies, offering them the necessary support for survival and growth. We are also helping children born with birth defects, ensuring that they receive the specialized medical attention they need to thrive.

These efforts have made a significant impact, contributing to a reduction in maternal and infant mortality rates in the region.

While we’ve made great strides, the need for continued support is urgent. Every contribution helps us expand our services, reach more mothers, and improve the care we provide. No mother or child should have to face the dangers of childbirth without proper care, and with your help, we can ensure that more lives are saved.
