Mama Kits At Work
22nd of April 2013
I got a lovely update from a woman who works with Uganda Baptist Seminary in Jinja this weekend. She reports that they host about 100 pastors each month for classes.

Honor your Mother
16th of April 2013
Nearly four years ago, a beautiful Ugandan woman gave birth to a baby girl.

I know this woman was beautiful, strong, and brave because I see a bit of her every […]

On the Horizon…

Here is another great story of the mama kits in action. This is from a rural health clinic operating with virtually no supplies. This is their report of the first mama kit they used. “Harriet, age 20, having given birth to her first born: a baby boy, 2.8kgs. (6.1 pounds)Thank God: -for protecting her through the process of […]
