I have decided to raise money for the Fragile Lives appeal to help provide life saving support to mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya. As a student midwife, I am very passionate about delivering maternity care and thus I have started this page in order to provide delivery kits, mother and baby food hampers and essential family packs to those in need of support. We are fortunate enough to have access to such things for free, here in the UK through the NHS. Which we are truly grateful for, but countries such as Pakistan and Kenya lack these essentials. So, please help me raise money to provide basic necessities to expectant families in Pakistan and Kenya.

Every 8 seconds a baby needlessly dies somewhere around the world. Many of these deaths occur from treatable causes such as infection, lack of vaccinations or malnutrition. These preventable deaths leave mothers and entire families devastated. In Pakistan alone, 400,000 babies die before their first birthday and this translates to one every single minute. Fragile Lives seek to provide life-saving support to mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya, providing vital medical services, maternal care and nutrition to make sure more women have safe deliveries and mothers and babies don't just survive, but thrive.

Every donation will be DOUBLED by the UK Government! If you donate £50, so does the UK government, making your donation a staggering £100! This means we'll be able to reach even more mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya.
