Bringing Life-Changing Care to Their Doorsteps

This quarter, your support made an incredible difference in the lives of expectant and new mothers in Togo, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.

Through your generosity and our partnership with local churches, staff members have been able to visit these mothers in their own homes to provide love, care and support. Follow along as we share the inspiring stories of Davi, Yasmina and Aynalem — three young mothers who’ve benefitted greatly from your compassion.

ETHIOPIA:
Aynalem Welcomes Visitors for the First Time

Aynalem’s second pregnancy was just as lonely as her first. The father of her firstborn abandoned her at her most vulnerable moment. “I had no one to call,” she says, remembering the birth of her first daughter. But now, thanks to your generosity, Aynalem has visitors coming frequently to support her! “I was so happy when the project staff visited me at my home. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”

BURKINA FASO:
Update: Yasmina is settling in with three little ones!

Support for Yasmina continues through in-home visits. “I feel honored in the community when Asseta, the Compassion Nurturers staff member, visits me. In my culture, when someone visits you, it means you are important to the person and your neighborhood respects you more.”

Pray for moms and babies as they continue to grow and thrive.

 

Health and Nutrition

Pray for the healthy growth of Djamal, Madjid and Manane, the triplets who are now five months old. Pray for Yasmina, their mother, as she provides for them. Pray they will remain healthy and receive all the support they need to thrive.

Medical Care

Thank God for the healthy delivery of baby Yawa. Davi experienced a miscarriage during her first pregnancy, so praise God that she was able to receive prenatal care during this pregnancy.

Economic Stability

Pray for Davi as she looks for ways to make a consistent income. Pray that God would keep her healthy so she can take care of baby Yawa and work to help support her family.

Community Support

Thank God that these home visits will help Yasmina make connections in her community. Pray that God would grow those meaningful relationships.

Education and Training

Thank God for the parenting skills that Yasmina has learned through her Compassion Nurturers staff member. We pray she will continue to learn lessons and skills that help her grow in her new role.

Spiritual Growth

Pray for all three mothers, that they would rest in the presence of God as they navigate life with their new little ones.
