Story

A shortage of midwives in poor countries puts babies lives at risk.
Your gift will help to train somebody to deliver a newborn safely, recognise warning signs of illness and teach mums how to keep their baby healthy.
Your gift will help deliver many healthy babies.

Midwives in Tanzania help expecting mothers breathe a little bit easier. Not only do they deliver babies in a safe, clean environment, but also teach new mums how to avoid passing on infections during breastfeeding and how to keep their baby warm and safe.

Many tips are so simple, but make all the difference in saving precious lives. For example, skin to skin contact, a technique encouraging mums to wrap their babies against their own skin, which helps to regulate baby’s temperature. With more midwives, more babies can look forward to a safe arrival.
