Our goal for fundraising is $36,000 which is enough money to save the lives of 20,000 babies. This is how your donation could affect the lives of others:
Cameroon
Apum Bridget, a 45- year-old grandmother, sits by the small grave of her grandson. Eyah passed away just 15 days after delivery. She explained: Eyah was born at home. My daughter started labor at night, there was no vehicle to take her to the hospital. The newborn and the mother were doing fine for the first 6 days, and then the child started developing continuous spasm and neck stick. He was rushed to Tiben district hospital. In the hospital, the newborn was diagnosed with tetanus and he died 9 days later.
Cote d'Ivoire
Sabra Seydou arrived at the Abobo Kennedy clinic in Abidjan with only a few minutes to spare before giving birth. Extreme poverty has meant Sabra could not afford pre-natal tests or consultations. She was however able to have her first vaccination against tetanus, provided free by the Ivoirian government. Her second vaccination, that which would provide immunity against the deadly bacteria for herself and her child, was scheduled for the next week.
