Dear HOPE Supporter,
Thank you for your continued support of our work. I wanted to share with you a special story. Just last week I was visiting our projects and speaking to members in the community. The woman pictured here proudly came out of her home to let me know that she received an emergency cesarean section for her baby that she was holding. When I spoke with the translator as to how she knew she should go to the hospital, she informed me that HOPE's field workers had spoken to her about the importance of taking action during prolonged labor. She then sought care and her and her baby are doing great today. This story demonstrates to us that women just need the knowledge that is so critical to their and their baby's lives, and if they have the knowledge, they will do what is necessary. There is nothing more beautiful than a mother who is boastful that she knew what action to take during her labor, that would save her and her child's life and prevent morbidities such as obstetric fistula. Thank you for supporting such a life-saving project.
Sincerely,
Ashley Pugh
