Community Health Project
Community Health Mama Kit
Every mother in Uganda deserves a safe birth.
Imagine bringing your own gloves to give birth
In Uganda, expectant mothers must buy and bring their own delivery supplies to a hospital, even basics like gloves, gauze and a clean razor blade. For women living in poverty, often far from the nearest facility, this cost is out of reach. Many end up giving birth at home without a skilled midwife, which puts both mother and baby at risk.
A Mama Kit removes that barrier. It gives a mother what she needs to walk into a hospital and deliver with professional care.
How it works
We partner with local maternal health hospitals and health centers to get kits directly to the mothers who need them.
Prenatal care first.
We encourage expectant mothers to attend three prenatal check-ups at a local health center.
A kit at the third visit.
After her third check-up, each mother receives her Mama Kit.
A safer delivery.
She arrives at the hospital prepared, and her baby starts life healthy and protected.
Kits are assembled locally, which supports the community and keeps costs low.

Caring for the whole mother
A safe birth is only part of the story. We also walk alongside each mother through counselling and the hope of the Gospel.
Counselling
Many mothers face pregnancy with fear, grief or difficult circumstances at home. Our counsellors offer a listening ear and practical guidance on:
Preparing emotionally for birth and motherhood
Healthy pregnancy and newborn care
HIV testing, treatment and living positively
Family relationships and support at home
Sharing the Gospel
We believe every mother is deeply loved by God. Alongside practical care, we share the good news of Jesus Christ through prayer, Bible teaching and fellowship, so each mother knows she is valued, seen and never alone.
Protecting babies born to mothers with HIV
When a mother is living with HIV, the virus can pass to her baby through breast milk. Infant formula gives these babies a safer start while they are tested and monitored.
Through this program, we:
Provide baby milk to infants born to HIV-positive mothers
Connect mothers with HIV care and treatment at our partner health facilities
Encourage regular check-ups and HIV testing for the baby
Teach mothers how to prepare formula safely with clean water
With the right care, most babies born to mothers with HIV grow up HIV-free.
The project is sustainable, practical, and community-driven – restoring dignity and opportunity for vulnerable expectant mothers together with their children.
