ANTENATAL SUPPORT

Coni has continued to lead our MNCH program with commitment and heart. Together with her two assistants, Margret and Grace, the small team has made sure that pregnant women throughout Uranga and Boro have had access to not only their antenatal clinics, but to our unique ‘pregnancy clubs’. The monthly clubs are held in the grounds of local health facilities, and bring women together to share information and support during their journeys. We provide essential supplies to enable them to birth safely, and provide a space that is safe and welcoming, where women can ask anything they need to. Being in health facility grounds, our team can also call upon nursing staff to provide technical guidance and help in referrals when necessary.

This year Coni and her team was able to establish three new pregnancy clubs at emerging facilities - two in Boro and one in Uranga - expanding our support from 18 to 21 monthly clubs.
