HOME DELIVERY

Cases of home delivery by pregnant mothers are rampant in Kibera. This has resulted into deaths of both mothers and their babies but those who are lucky to escape the ordeal would rather never try again.
But the main problem is lack of money to take them to hospitals due to poverty. This problem has been there for a long time and recently, Care Kenya and AMREF in conjunction with CDC have come up with a project where pregnant mothers are offered delivery services free of charge at their medical facilities which dot most parts of Kibera.
They are also given advice on the importance of breast feeding and other practices. The problems of maternity related deaths have since reduced.
