Every Baby Deserves a Healthy Start

A life-saving hospital isn't built by a single donor. It’s built together, brick by brick, by a community that refuses to let moms and babies fight for their lives alone.

In Wajir, Kenya, nearly 43 out of every 1,000 infants do not survive their first year, with neonatal complications claiming the vast majority in their first fragile weeks of life. This is nearly double Kenya’s national average and more than twice the global average. These figures underscore the urgent need to improve newborn care.

Your support can help change this reality. Funding a new maternity unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Baitulmaal Hope Hospital in Wajir, Kenya will help provide safer deliveries, specialized care for premature and critically ill newborns, and lifesaving support for mothers and their babies. Together, we can give more families the chance to welcome their children into a healthier future.
