• Ava’s Story •

15-year-old Ava arrived at Wakisa Ministries in March 2024 and by June, she had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. With the added challenge of only having one arm, Ava is adapting well to motherhood thanks to the practical, spiritual and psychological support she is receiving at Wakisa. Her fellow mothers have stepped in with immense love, helping Ava with baby care tasks. This collective effort has fostered a beautiful bond among them, creating a nurturing and supportive environment.

It is this environment that Wakisa want to replicate in their maternity centre. Being able to give birth in a safe, judgement-free space would give girls like Ava the best start to motherhood after such a traumatic start to life.

  • An examination room, including a couch, computer and examination equipment, ensuring the girls are checked carefully and comfortably.
  • A labour ward, including delivery beds, monitors, IV drip stands, midwives’ scrubs (aprons & boots), delivery kits, medicine trollies and much more.
  • A neonatal ward, including incubators, infant warmers, oxygen tanks and infant monitors, ensuring vulnerable babies get the care they need.
