World Malaria Day

In memory of all the millions of people who die every year from malaria, today is World Malaria Day. Malaria is of particular concern to pregnant women; pregnancy reduces a woman's resistance to the disease and makes it harder to fight. Malaria is even more catastrophic for newborns. Help us stop the spread of this disease by expanding our Malaria Prevention Program. Visit: http://www.safemotherssafebabies.org/?p=what_we_do&s=malaria_prevention

Thank you!

Humless Solar Project

Thanks to the generous support of a US-based alternative energy company, Humless, SAFE is initiating a quick capacity-building project to install innovative solar technology at six health centers within Bugweri Sub-County. Humless has agreed to provide their easy-to-use, lithium-based solar units (as opposed to lead-based), designed to last for many hours with one charge, to SAFE at cost and moreover to match donations dollar-for-dollar. Towards this endeavor, we are seeking to raise $3,000; we currently have raised $1,000. Your contribution to the SAFE's Lighting Rural Uganda Project will be much appreciated! Please visit www.safemotherssafebabies.org for information on how to donate, or direct inquiries to safemothers.safebabies@gmail.com!
