New life is fragile - especially in Africa - which is why four Bradford students came up with an award-winning idea of a "gift pack" bringing together all the essentials mums and babies need
We are offering you the opportunity to buy a World Gift of a pack for mums and babies costing £30 – money which will go to support healthcare programmes in Africa.
Training birth attendants in pre- and post-natal care, as well as in safer delivery techniques, can give a new mum and her baby a much better chance of survival. This wonderful gift can also pay for new equipment and vaccines to give babies a much safer, healthier start in life.
Mariom, from Kubum refugee camp in Darfur told us how grateful she was for the help she received from Hawa, a traditional birth attendant who was trained by a CAFOD partner:
“Hawa helped me during the delivery. She washed the baby and me and brought me pain-relief tablets afterwards.”
Please support the girls’ big idea. Order their World Gift below now, and watch a video from their trip
