Venue: Pumwani Hospital, Nairobi
In collaboration with UNICEF, UNKLESA is organizing a donation drive to commemorate World Prematurity Day 2024. We warmly invite you to contribute to this meaningful cause that supports premature babies and their families with essential items. To make this initiative a success, we need both volunteers and donations.
Following our tradition of support to Nairobi area hospitals, we plan to make a donations to the Pumwani Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that include diaper kits and hand crocheted beanie hats and socks that were lovingly made by our members. This effort embodies our motto: "Knit one, warm one, save one."
We are honored to have UNKLESA members Dr. Bree and Dr. Zinia joining us as Emotional Support Coordinators for the mothers of premature babies and the hospital staff. Our UNKLESA Doctors will also lead conversation sessions with volunteers before the visit, helping all to better understand what to expect in this emotionally sensitive environment.
Heena Gupta will oversee the collection and distribution of donations to ensure a smooth and organized process.
We are excited to welcome some of the thriving former Pumwani preemie babies to join the event, as their stories of resilience will inspire us all and reinforce the significance of our support. We encourage all interested members to sign up as volunteers to help make this day memorable and impactful.
