Dear friend,
We operate Mother’s Clubs because we believe that mothers are key to the development of healthy families.
Comprised of 30-50 mothers, these groups receive public health education and training by HOPE doctors, enabling them to share sanitation and hygiene practices with their community.
As a result, they are also able to support our outreach initiatives by spreading these health messages and make referrals that help us provide care to mothers who otherwise would not know about our free services.
Because of generous people like you, today there are 38 Mother’s Clubs in operation, and we hope to increase that number every month.
9 in 10 women in southern Bangladesh give birth at home, without any access to trained medical help. If something goes wrong during labor, a woman is at critical risk for developing a serious injury, or death. This is one of the reasons why is so important to educate women and encourage them to look for safe deliveries and healthy practices.
Thank you again for trusting us.
