In lieu of gift's for Joy's virtual baby shower, please consider making a donation to this really important charity supporting women and children in Somaliland.  

Here's a bit more info about the Edna Adan Hospital: 

The health of the people of Somaliland is among the worst in the world. One in eleven children die in infancy and, every year, nearly 4,000 women die in childbirth. This tragedy is largely due to the civil war which caused the death or departure of nearly all the country’s health care professionals.

Founded as a maternity hospital, over the past 15 years our hospital has grown into a major referral institution. We treat obstetrical, surgical, medical and pediatric cases from across the Horn of Africa. In addition to services relating to maternal and infant health, our hospital has diagnostic laboratory facilities, an emergency blood bank, and provides diagnosis and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, including testing for HIV/AIDS.
