You need to click here and read my friend, Kathryn’s latest blog post. Kathryn is a missionary in Northern Uganda. She was sort of my missionary guinea pig with mama kits. I gave her several kits and told her to pass them out however she saw fit. She quickly saw how important they were to the women and what a great opportunity this was for her to deepen her relationships. It is so awesome to see the kits turn into a ministry tool for her and other missionaries. This blog post also paints a great picture of the realities of childbirth in Uganda. It is not an easy thing. Many more women, like Pasca, need our help.
Pasca and her mama kit |
One thing I love about this work is that it is very simple. $7 = 1 mama kit = 1 mama gets a clean, safe birth. People from every stage of life can give and make an impact. $7 or $700 you can make a difference…. you are making a difference.
Just today I got this thank you note:
