You can help mothers and their babies by donating to CHF. In Rwanda, we would like to help fund the Women Empowerment Program’s project that tackles neonatal mortality with Bubble CPAP and Kangaroo Mother Care. These methods help babies that are born prematurely or with impaired growth breathe easier and get the skin-to-skin contact they need to grow strong and healthy. Do your part: https://www.givedirect.org/donate/?cid=518

The Tippy Tap is a hand washing device that can be created out of local materials, such as a water container, a bar of soap and sticks.
