TOGO:
Guiding Davi from Crisis to Brighter Days

"Since joining the Compassion [Nurturers] program, my life and that of my baby have changed immensely. When I was struggling after my husband’s accident to afford even one prenatal checkup, Compassion was there. They taught me how to have a good marital life, supported my small business and provided vital health checks during my pregnancy. Thanks to Compassion, I now have hope and a brighter future."

BURKINA FASO: Nourishing Yasmina’s Triplets and Her Hope

"I am very grateful because [Compassion Nurturers] have been here for me. They have provided milk, and milk means life. The babies needed milk. They cried a lot and lost weight. I couldn’t breastfeed them. But now it is well, and I am very grateful for their support. I hope they will keep on helping the babies and me. I know that they will not cover all our needs, but our basic needs will be provided. So, I am very happy."

Wagaye with baby

Experience the joy of community and shared hopes through the eyes of Wagaye, a first-time mom in Ethiopia. In her heartfelt letter, she expresses how the Compassion Nurturers program at her local church became a cherished lifeline during her pregnancy, through childbirth and in being a new mom. Wagaye found a circle of support among other moms and moms-to-be who understood her fears, celebrated her excitement and provided guidance on childbirth and newborn care.

"Our fellowship with other mothers in the program is one of the activities I enjoy most in the [Compassion Nurturers program] because of our love and care for each other …”
