Team Mum campaign

In Kenya, one in 26 babies die before they reach their first birthday. Together, Team Mum will arm new mums with the health information and support they need to keep themselves, and their babies safe. To do this, we need you to donate so we can launch pregnancy support groups in rural Kenya. These pregnancy support groups will provide practical health information to new mums. Each new mum will be provided with some baby essentials - including a weighing bag to help monitor the health of their baby. They’ll learn about breastfeeding, safe sleeping, what to expect during the birth and when they take the baby home. They will learn the warning signs to look out for - so they will know when to seek medical assistance at every stage of pregnancy and early motherhood. The groups also provide a support system for young new mums - a place to ask questions and discuss problems in a friendly environment. Any new mum, wherever they live, knows how important this support can be. Doubling donations with UK Aid Match If you give before 30 April, your donation will be doubled by the UK government, making each £1 worth £2. Find out more at child.org/teammum
