Isatu Kargbo, Sierra Leone, birth attendant
"The very first birth I attended after training was triplets! I knew what to do and all three were born healthily."
Your gift could help give more mothers access to the skills of a midwife, who can help them have safer births.

Train a midwife
From just a little training come many special deliveries...
Poor people in Sierra Leone cannot afford the services of the few trained doctors or nurses. As a result, pregnancy puts both mother and child at great risk and many die.
One project your gift could help fund is training birth attendants in Sierra Leone. After helping to deliver a precious new life safely, they ensure mum recovers and baby is immunised.
