Mothers Journey Sponsorship
Bring Wellness, Dignity, and Hope to Expectant Mothers and Their Newborns
At Brother Andre Hospital in Dandora, the cost of a Mother’s Journey through prenatal visits, ultrasounds, routine delivery, and postnatal care is $200. A bargain compared to what it costs in the US! Yet many women still fail to get the care they need due to their inability to pay.
When women don’t get prenatal care and/or don’t deliver their babies with professional assistance, tragic outcomes are a real possibility. We want to do everything we can to avoid that.
In collaboration with the Brother Andre staff, we created a plan to sponsor women at risk throughout their entire Mother’s Journey. Help us reduce Maternal and Infant Mortality by sponsoring a mother today!

Underwrite the cost of having a baby for a woman in Dandora!
Nairobi, Kenya is a fast growing city of Kenya with nearly 5 million residents. Despite the city's growth, the slum of Dandora with over 300,000 residents continues to struggle under the weight of constant environmental pollution and crisis. Dandora was designated as host to the growing city's dumpsite, with 2,000 tons of garbage piled onto this site each day. The situation is dire for mothers, who work amid these polluted conditions to support their families. Oftentimes these women aren’t able to afford maternity healthcare costs among the host of other issues that face this community. With no prenatal care or assisted delivery, the risk of mortality is high for the mother and baby.
