Help 1000 mothers access child birth services

"I am encouraged, I have no regrets for participating." That was the testimony of one of the beneficiaries at our most recent antenatal camp in Iseyin community, where no fewer than 40 pregnant women received free antenatal(ANC) services. 

It is central to the goals of this project, ensuring that rural women access professional care during and after pregnancy to reduce the global burden of pregnancy related complications and death among vulnerable populations. Achieving this, Oak Rural Health Organization plans and implements programs that provide support and make available, the essentials that promote positive health-seeking habbit among the economic disadvantaged populations.The women were happy to be part of the program which provided them with the much needed health education, multivitamins, malaria IPT medications, and obstetric ultrasound scanning at no cost. These are prerequisites to promoting their healthful living, thus discouraging patronising unskilled carers, which might result in an unwanted outcome. 

This project has received much attention in the locality as more people are now showing up. This is an indicator that the primary goals are being achieved. Thank you for taking us this far .  Your generosity has orchestrated many healthy births. We cannot stop these services now that we are getting known. Therefore, we need your kind heartedness now more than before. Together, we will bridge the line of poverty and prevent more pregnancy related complications and death.

It is a great joy to see hope being restored to a pregnant woman who hardly knows where the next meal will come from, let alone the resources for her pregnancy. Such women end up in the hand of unskilled attendants, thus reducing their hope of surviving the ordeals of pregnancy. The outcome of the recent event by Oak Rural Health Organization where malaria prevention, health education and adequate nutrition were the focus; restored hope to many.

Illiteracy and poverty were from our experience, prominent factors exposing local women to complications of pregnancy and hence maternal and child mortality. Oak Rural Health Organization, after educating the pregnant women, also distributed multivitamins and malaria prevention medicines to all the women in attendance. This simple act of kindness attracted many women to our project centre where they now receive professional care and support during pregnancy. 

Every step taken during this project implementation brings out testimonies which keep the program on track. The number of life saved and the babies born through the help of this project are credited to your generosity and open heart. This project still needs more in order to keep alife the women and babies who could otherwise have fallen into wrong hands.
