"SMALL THINGS done with GREAT LOVE will CHANGE THE WORLD".                                       Mother Teresa

You can show GREAT LOVE for the women and babies in East Africa this Christmas.

In the late stages of her pregnancy Margaret began suffering from severe headaches, dizziness, and overwhelming body weakness. Lacking education and the support of a midwife in her community, she postponed seeking antenatal care until her symptoms became unbearable. When she finally travelled to the clinic nearest to her village, her condition had become critical, and Margaret feared for her baby’s life.

Margaret's baby did not survive, and now her life was at risk. 

The clinic was without the proper medical supplies and had to borrow medicine from a neighbouring clinic to treat Margaret and save her life.

No mother should have to endure such loss due to preventable delays.

Margaret’s story serves as a powerful call to action and reminder of the urgent need for safe motherhood interventions, timely access to health care, and properly equipped medical facilities.
