DONATION OF FREE EMERGENCY DELIVERY KITS TO LESS PRIVILEGED WOMEN IN THE FAR NORTH REGION (2025)

Access to quality maternal healthcare remains a major challenge in the Far North Region of Cameroon, limited health infrastructure continue to put women and children at risk. 

Many women in rural and crisis-affected communities face difficulties during childbirth due to a lack of basic medical attention and trained personnel. To address this need, a donation campaign of free emergency delivery kits was organized to support less privileged pregnant women and promote safer deliveries.
The main goal of the initiative was to: Provide essential delivery kits to underprivileged pregnant women. Reduce risks of maternal and neonatal complications lastly to encourage the women to make us of the health centers and avoid the use of home delivery. 
We donated a total number of 100 delivery kits to women who couldn’t afford and assisted others to pay for their delivery fee.
Content for One Emergency Delivery Kit (1) Plastic Sheet (100cm by 100cm) (1) Surgical Gloves (1) Surgical Blade (3) Pair of Clean Gloves (1) Soap (1) Maternity Sanitary Pad (1) Cord Clamp (1) Napkin (1) Diaper, Pieces of Gauze, (1) Suction pump, Olive Oil (2) Syringes (10ml and 2ml)  and Instruction leaflet 
We educated the women on how to identify danger signs during pregnancy, the importance of antenatal visits, and on various nutritional diets healthy for both mother and child.  
At safe hands association we promote and advocate for  maternal and child health. This is why we continue to strive to provide a safe and secured environment for the populations we serve and their families.
