Motherhood Health Care Covid-19 Appeal: Saving Lives in Childbirth Begins with Hand Hygiene

Mobile Medical Clinic

Sierra Leone is one of the worst places on earth to be pregnant. The decade long civil war between 1991 and 2002 left the country fragile and most of its infrastructure


in ruins. The Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015 further decimated the healthcare infrastructure and brought the health sector on its knees.


As a result, half of Sierra Leone health facilities remain dysfunctional with poor road infrastructure and lack of transportation hindering effective care. This is particularly true in rural areas, where clinics are often too far away or otherwise inaccessible or with reach of women’s homes, but the need for health care is higher than ever. We provide mobile health clinics for the poor and most vulnerable women and babies in rural and remote areas increasing access to care.


Just £150.00 will cover the running of a fully-equipped mobile medical clinic for a the whole day, serving poor and vulnerable women and babies in rural and remote communities..


Help us reach vulnerable women in rural areas.

Maternity Bundle

Every mother can remember the joy of holding their baby in their hands for the first time. Now imagine holding your baby in your hands and not having the basic essential needed for the first few days and weeks.


No mother anywhere should have to endure such added stress. However, this is the plight of many poor and vulnerable women living in rural communities.


It is for this reason why we have put together a gift pack called Maternity Bundle, which includes basic essentials such as nappies, baby wipes, lotion, soap etc. This Maternity Bundle will ensure a mother is equipped with the basic essentials to give the best possible care for her and her little one.


£30 will provide a maternity Bundle for the mother and her baby. Help us expand our distribution to reach more extremely vulnerable rural women.

Help us reach vulnerable women.

Midwifery and Health Professional Training

Every year, thousands of women and babies die in Sierra Leone from pregnancy and childbirth-related issues. Women in the poorest and most rural areas in Sierra Leone are at the greatest risk.


One of the many challenges is women are often able to access quality maternity healthcare when they need it, due to a lack of health workers in poor rural areas. This is a major hazard for women who face complications from childbirth or neonatal emergencies at night. Furthermore, the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015 further exacerbated the health worker crisis with 221 recorded health worker deaths. That’s why we are training more midwives and other healthcare workers across Sierra Leone to send them back into their communities.


Our aims to strengthen the capacity and capability of health and health-related professionals and institutions. This will help more women in receiving antenatal care, giving birth in health facilities and having postnatal care.


Help us Train more Midwives and Health Professionals.

Covid-19 Appeal

The spread of Covid-19 has not only changed our lives but have completely changed our ways of doing things. As a result, we are launching a new appeal to raise £5000 so that we can support mothers and babies in the communities where we work and help save lives in pregnancy and childbirth during this difficult time. This project is to help build resilient to coronavirus by promoting WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) principles. Our aim is to minimise the spread of Covid-19 amongst pregnant women, babies and health care workers by:

  • Providing safe health promotion on handwashing, hygiene, and social distancing measures.
  • Providing soap, water, and hand sanitation products for rural communities in Sierra Leone.
  • Providing sanitation and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks, face shields, gloves, and aprons health care workers in rural communities.

Help us prevent the spread of Covid-19
