Hi, I’m Anna and I manage the Doctors Worldwide Tembo Medical Centre in Muhuru Bay, on the shores of Lake Victoria in W. Kenya. We’re open 24/7. The birth of a child should be a time of celebration and happiness. But for thousands of mothers and babies in Kenya it is an extremely dangerous and risky time. Lack of staff, equipment and facilities mean that the risks of death and complications to mother and baby are high.

In the last few months our maternal health program at DWW Tembo has safely delivered 38 babies and carried out 245 antenatal sessions. However, we lack the equipment and resources to deal with births where something might go wrong and end up in an emergency obstetric situation. For a mother facing a difficult birth, it’s a 1 to 2 hour drive to the nearest emergency facility.

No baby should be born to die on its first and only day of birth. So this Christmas, please help us to raise funds to buy life saving emergency equipment and equip our facility so we can support the mothers of Muhuru Bay to give birth safely.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small can make this happen!

 Help us to save lives this Christmas – GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE!
