Mama Baby Fund

The Mama Baby Fund is an emergency fund based in Karachi, Pakistan that provides women and newborns with emergency medical treatments and supplies.

Founded in 2015-the Mama Baby Fund serves as a rapid response fund for emergency needs that women and their families don't account for in maternal and gynecological care such as preterm birth, incubator fees, extra medicine costs, and multiple bags of blood. It also responds to in-kind needs with newborn clothes, diapers, baby oil, supplements for the mother etc. Mama Baby Fund in the news here:

In 2023, we shared baby Meerub’s incredible journey — the only surviving triplet, born at just 29 weeks and weighing little more than a packet of sugar. Her mother had travelled from Awaran, Balochistan to Karachi for emergency care, and for two months, MBF stood by her side through NICU stays at AKU and RIMS.

We remember her as a tiny, fragile fighter hooked up to wires, her whole body fitting into the palm of a hand. Today, her father sent us a photo — and there she is, eyes bright, cheeks full, a living reminder of why we do what we do.

From a baby we weren’t sure would make it, to a little girl growing stronger every day — Meerub’s story is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of timely care.

Yasmeen, from the island of Shamspir, was 7 months pregnant when she went into preterm labour and delivered her first baby — a fragile boy weighing only 1.1kg. He couldn’t breathe on his own at birth and needed resuscitation before being placed on a ventilator. For days, his tiny chest rose and fell with the help of machines, until finally, he began breathing on his own with oxygen support.

MBF supported his care during the month he spent in hospital, while Yasmeen travelled an hour each way, every single day, to see him. At one month old, she finally carried him home in her arms.

Last week, that same little fighter made a 45-minute boat ride to visit our clinic. With Yasmeen’s tireless love, her family’s support, and the critical care he received, he’s now nearly doubled his weight to almost 2kg and will soon graduate from NG feeding.

Without this care, babies like him would have no chance. But with it, and with a mother like Yasmeen, miracles happen every day.

We’re so glad to share that thanks to your support, we’ve been able to keep our breakfast program running for the next few weeks! Every morning, around 50 women and children in Baba Island are welcomed to a warm, freshly cooked meal at the clinic. This serves as a small comfort during these difficult summer months when fishing is closed, and food insecurity is at its peak.

This program has quickly become an important part of the community’s day, and we’re so grateful to everyone who has made it possible. We’re still open to donations to help us continue feeding those who need it most, so if you’d like to support the breakfast program, we’d be so grateful.

Fatima Danish had endured a difficult few years, experiencing two heartbreaking miscarriages in the first trimester. When she conceived again, she was referred from our Baba Island clinic to Lady Dufferin Hospital for specialized care so she could receive the attention she needed throughout the pregnancy.

This time, Fatima delivered her baby safely via Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS). After everything she’s been through, having her baby in her arms has brought her immense relief and happiness.

At Mama Baby Fund, we are grateful to have been able to support Fatima through this pregnancy and ensure she received the care she needed at every step.

Kanwal was only 25 when she lost her first baby to severe complications during pregnancy. What began as high blood pressure turned into a life-threatening emergency — a severe placental abruption at 36 weeks that led to a stillbirth. She was rushed to the ICU, received multiple transfusions, and had to physically and emotionally recover from something no mother is ever prepared for.

When she became pregnant again, it wasn’t without fear. Her second pregnancy came with its own risks — low amniotic fluid and the looming anxiety of history repeating itself. But this time, she made it to 36 weeks, and through a planned C-section, finally held her baby in her arms.

At Mama Baby Fund, we covered her entire pregnancy journey and today, Kanwal’s story is one of survival, support, and second chances.

Just off the coast of Karachi lie the island communities of Baba Island, Shamspir, Bhit, Salehabad, and more, home to nearly 50,000 people, yet completely cut off from essential maternity and birthing services. There are no clinics, no trained professionals, and no safe spaces to deliver. Mama Baby Fund is the only organisation consistently providing maternal, newborn, and gynaecological care across these islands.

At our Baba Island clinic, we offer antenatal checkups, lab tests, medication, child nutrition consults, and postpartum support. Women from across the coast visit us here, and when needed, we refer them to our partner hospitals in Karachi — covering everything from transport and medical bills to aftercare. Every single birth in our network is supported by us from start to finish.

To make all of this possible, our 24/7 boat ambulance transports women in labour, sick newborns, and entire groups of mothers and children from remote villages to care. In a city like Karachi, it’s hard to imagine that reaching a basic health service could require a boat ride at dawn.

But for these communities, it does. And we’re committed to showing up every day, every tide, every birth.

At just 28 weeks into her pregnancy, Naziah Nisa went into early labor. Her baby, born extremely premature, weighed much less than average and struggled to breathe. Diagnosed with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), sepsis, and very low birth weight - these are complications we sadly see often with preterm deliveries.

For families like Naziah’s, it’s an overwhelming mix of fear and helplessness. But with the right medical care and timely support, survival is possible. Through Mama Baby Fund, we were able to step in and provide critical assistance to help give this baby the best possible fighting chance.

We continue to see an alarming number of preterm births, many linked to factors like maternal infections, poor nutrition, stress, and lack of antenatal care, especially in under-resourced communities.

If you’d like to help more families like Naziah’s access lifesaving neonatal care, please consider supporting us.

Moton Khatoon went into early labour at just 34 weeks and delivered her baby via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Alongside a high-risk pregnancy caused by gestational hypertension, she also developed postpartum renal failure and now requires dialysis twice a week.

Her newborn, too, faced a difficult start, admitted to the NICU with respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, low birth weight, and signs of a kidney complication (mild hydronephrosis and hydroureter). A week after discharge, the baby was readmitted due to severe jaundice.

With timely medical attention and the support of Mama Baby Fund, both mother and baby received the care they needed. They are now back home, together, and stable.

Support like this matters deeply, because a healthy start isn’t guaranteed, but it can be made possible.

We’re happy to share that Mama Baby Fund is now officially certified by the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (P*P).

This means our work — from the way we manage our programs to how we handle funds — has been reviewed and recognised for meeting strong standards of transparency, accountability, and impact.

For us, it’s an important step forward. And for those who support us, whether by donating, cheering us on, or simply following along, it’s a reminder that your trust is well-placed. Every rupee and every effort continues to go where it matters most: to mothers and babies who need it.

Thank you for being part of this with us!
