Meet Mildred, a mother, teacher, and now an advocate for compassionate maternal care. Through the care she received at #CFKAfrica’s Tabitha Maternity Home in Kibera, Mildred safely welcomed her third child, Delisha, despite facing pregnancy complications, and continued to receive postnatal care at TMH.

Our #nutrition team hosted a community conversation on nutrition, increasing #communityhealth.
