Nurse Latia has strong teeth.
Delivering an average of 198 babies a month at a birthing clinic in rural Mozambique, she often held her cell phone between her teeth so it would cast a light on her patient. Babies are more often born at night and her clinic – like many – was not equipped with electricity for proper lighting.
As part of the All Mothers and Children Count project, PWRDF and its Mozambican partner EHALE installed 30 solar suitcases at government-run health facilities in 2017. We are now raising money for 49 more. Half of our goal has been reached. Just one last push before October 1st, when all donations are being matched by a generous donor.
Thank you to everyone who participated or supported our Wild Ride. We had a lovely day and a small but enthusiastic turnout.
