Thank You!
We are proud of the incredible progress our organization has made in improving maternal health for women in Kenya, and we have our donors to thank. To date, we have received nearly 10,000 items of baby clothes, t-shirts to be sewn into baby clothes, and blankets, contributing to the safe deliveries of over 3,000 babies under the Operation Karibu program.
The support of our donors and volunteers has contributed to our record of 100% safe, healthy deliveries for all mothers and babies participating in Operation Karibu. In communities where as many as 1 in 15 babies and 1 in 100 mothers die during or soon after childbirth, this is a truly amazing record!
As 2016 approaches, we are pleased to report that over the next year we will be expanding Operation Karibu to the poorest county in Kenya, Kakamega County, where most of the mothers in our program will be high-risk teenagers with little support from their communities. Our reach will expand to an additional 10,000 women and babies over the next two years, making our greatest impact yet on maternal and infant health.
