Fragile Lives is an appeal from Penny Appeal which helps to save the lives of mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya where there is inadequate medical equipment with minimal doctors and nurses.

Due to this, 8 babies die every minute and in Pakistan alone, over 400,000 babies die before their first birthday and 14,000 Pakistani women die during childbirth annually. Kenya has one of the worst Maternal Mortality Rates in the world, and over 1 in 20 children die before their fifth birthday. These people urgently need our help and the least we can do is donate money to help these innocent people who have done nothing wrong.

With Penny Appeal, we are committed to improving maternal care for Pakistan and Kenya’s poorest mothers and their babies. We will achieve this through offering a higher standard of medical care and nutrition, as well as working alongside local midwives and doctors to support them in caring for new mothers and their babies. We will also offer education and support to mothers, empowering them to give their babies the best possible start to life. By working with traditional birth attendants and midwives, we’ll equip them with the knowledge and skills needed for safer deliveries, pre-natal and antenatal care, boosting every mother and baby’s chances of survival.

We thank you for all your efforts.
