Mothers are still showing up to clinics. But now, no one is there to meet them. The sudden funding cuts shut down 15 critical programs — leaving communities with no access to basic health services. But together, we can change that. Your gift today will help bring outreach clinics back to life — with prenatal care, vaccines, and health workers. Donate now: LINK or visit www.amrefhealthcanada.org #HealthcareAccess #SupportMothers #AmrefHealthAfrica #USAIDFUNDINDFREZZE (fb)
Victoria used to walk a few minutes to get care for her baby. Now? It’s a long, expensive trip — and not every mother can afford it. Amref’s outreach clinics were a lifeline. But sudden cuts forced them to close. You can help bring them back. This Spring, give $50, $100, or $200 to help restore care for mothers and babies who need it most.
