URGENT: CLINIC IN ASHES.
We recently received a devastating call from one our our partners. Her voice shook as she choked back on tears to relay the news, a fire destroyed the maternity clinic.
In just minutes years of hard work, love, and community care – all gone.
A neighbour’s cooking fire spread rapidly to the clinic’s walls. By the time anyone could react, the building was reduced to ash.
Miraculously, everyone escaped unharmed, even a mother who had given birth just an hour before, walked out cradling her newborn.
The sooner we rebuild the clinic, the sooner mothers can give birth in a clean, safe building. Work needs to commence in January before the tents become unusable. Women and babies deserve better than a tent.
And this Christmas, thanks to a generous supporter – your gift will be matched up to €20,000! Making your kind donation worth twice the amount!

Meet the midwives
In 2016, English midwife Indie joined the staff at Attat Hospital in south-western Ethiopia, where Atsede, 2019 International Midwife of the Year, led the midwifery services. It was a meeting that would change their lives. Their close professional relationship, and deep personal friendship, led to them opening a birth centre serving the Gurage women and families of Cheha Woreda, bringing compassionate midwifery care into the heart of traditional communities.
