New Mothers & Babies
Across areas of extreme poverty and within Somalia, the health of hundreds of pregnant women, new mothers and babies are at risk. All too often children are born in the most dangerous of conditions – they need you to survive.
Malnutrition and poor primary healthcare have increased the risks
for women in pregnancy and childbirth for those in Somalia.
A severe lack of paediatric care means that babies are born in dangerous
conditions, hungry and struggling to survive from their very first breath.

£360 could provide dedicated support and care for pregnant women
£500 could provide emergency medicine and operations
Thousands of young lives have the odds stacked against them.
Without basic healthcare and nutrition, pregnant women are at risk of complications, miscarriage or still birth. A lack of maternal care means they often give birth without pain relief or medical assistance. For the babies who survive, their lives hang in the balance as their mothers are often too weak to breastfeed.
They need your help.
Pregnant women, mothers and children need basic primary healthcare urgently. Immunisations, nutrition, surgical equipment, incubators and specialist paediatric care are all required to help them survive. Mobile Clinics are needed to reach the most isolated and vulnerable women with quality maternity care.
Together we can save them.
We are working in barawa and other parts Somalia, reaching remote communities and delivering medical aid to the many displaced new mothers and babies.
Your support and generosity can help us to protect women and their babies from:
- Life-threatening conditions in pregnancy
- Risky childbirth experiences such as dangerous premature birth
- Increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth
- Malnourishment and preventable infections and disease
