Empowering Mothers and Babies in Malawi: A Fundraising Initiative for Essential Maternity Packs

Join us in our mission to reduce Malawi's alarming infant mortality rate, one of the highest in Africa. Our BIG Idea involves creating maternity packs filled with essential items scarce in the region, targeting vulnerable mothers and their babies. With your support, we aim to improve the health outcomes for mothers and children while promoting better awareness of sexual health. By partnering with organizations like CAFOD, we will ensure these packs reach those in need. Together, we can change lives and build a healthier future!
