Hellen gets her needs met!

hellen akoyh
Dear Ron,

Hellen is 32 years old, married, and expecting her 5th child. Like many other mothers, Hellen’s focus is always on her children- ensuring that they can go to school, receive health care, and there is enough food for everyone. This means that Hellen often times sacrifices her own needs for those of her children. After finding out she was pregnant, Hellen worried she didn’t have money to get the antenatal care she needed. When coming to the clinic today, she was overwhelmed to learn that you took care of that for her.

Each kit includes a mosquito net to sleep under, water treatment drops to provide clean water for her entire pregnancy, a laboratory test for ongoing evaluations of maternal health, and medications including malaria prophylaxis, deworming, ferrous sulfate and folic acid. In addition, mothers visit the Med25 clinic each month during their pregnancy to receive maternal education and check ups from clinic professionals.

Hellen was brought to tears by your generosity. She returned home in peace knowing that every month she can come to the clinic and get all of her needs met for herself and her fifth child.  Thank you for your generous gift of antenatal care for Hellen!
