Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, I am so excited to start this journey! The Compassion Mothers and Babies program provides for developing world mothers during pregnancy and for their babies in infancy and toddlerhood. 1,500 mothers and 10,000 newborns die EVERY DAY during childbirth. Many things I took for granted during pregnancy they lack - basic necessities such as prenatal care, dietary supplements, doctor visits, a skilled birth attendant and medical supplies for birth in a clean, safe environment.

In developing countries, diarrhea is one of the Big 6 Baby Killers, causing the death of 1.5 million babies every year. Diarrhea, can you believe it? Something so trivial to us here is deadly in other parts of the world. The Big 6 Baby Killers—diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition—are preventable or treatable. Compassion, working through local churches and Survival Specialists, provides practical solutions like vaccinations, access to doctors, clean water, malaria nets, antibiotics, and education.

Thank you so very much for your donation. Please pray for my goal as well as the mothers and infants that this center will touch. You can visit Compassion International's website at http://www.compassion.com/
