Thrive Project Zimbabwe hasn't added a story.
A staggering number of mothers & babies die during birth in Zimbabwe. The causes are largely preventable. (visit our website for more statistics: www.thriveprojectzw.org).
Thrive Project Zimbabwe is a Canadian non-profit with the livelihoods of Zimbabwean mothers & babies at heart, and we'd like to move the needle by tackling the top 3 causes of death in neonates & mothers in Zimbabwe.
Last month, we received a generous donation of 32 Dräger infant incubators from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Canada. This month, along with the generous support of local communities, organizations and friends, we completed the first phase of crating and securing the incubators before they begin their long journey, by sea freight, to Zimbabwe. The machines, along with other donations, and essential, life saving NICU supplies will be issued to 3 resource stretched NICUs serving over 1million mothers & babies.
Thrive Project Zimbabwe is raising 35,000CAD to fund the transportation of three 20' containers that comprising 32 infant incubators, donated baby clothing, fabric (for sewing kangaroo care aprons), surgical scrubs, and a wide range of essential NICU supplies and consumables. In addition, and as part of this project, Thrive Project Zimbabwe will send a medical team of 3 to Zimbabwe this fall to:
- Support the implementation of the infant incubators and deliver usage and maintenance training.
- Conduct skills seminars, including but not limited to infection control protocols, kangaroo care, and the Helping babies Breath Module (which has been shown to reduce infant deaths by up to 47% and fresh stillbirths by 24%).
- Conduct comprehensive needs assessments, and pave the way for future programming between Zimbabwean midwifes and physicians and Thrive Project Zimbabwe volunteers.
