In Maiduguri alone over 100 babies are given birth to in alarming health conditions. To foster clean and safe deliveries, Wellbeing Foundation Africa (WBFA) donated Mama Kits, these kits contain all essential health utilities that can change any location into a safe place for birth.
The Climb With Remi initiative is led by Remi who is 49 years old (the oldest Nigerian to have climbed the Kilimanjaro), Remi seeks to use strenghth and courage to advocate for the plight of displaced women. Wellbeing Africa will be assisting the Climb With Remi campaign with facts and figures concerning the plight of the IDP'S this week.
.There are currently 3.3
million internally displaced Nigerians , living in overrun and
over-capacity IDP camps. Many of the IDPs are children, including a
large number of newborns. In Borno State alone, over 100 babies are born
daily in IDP camps with an average of five to six deliveries in each of
the state's 21 camps. As the Newborn Champion for Save the Children
Nigeria, Her Excellency Toyin Saraki is deeply concerned about the
burgeoning newborn health crisis in these camps, with a large number of
births occurring in camps that currently lack safe and clean birthing
facilities.
To help facilitate clean deliveries in Adamawa State in February, Wellbeing Foundation Africa (WBFA) donated our Mama Kits, that contain all essential health commodities that can transform any location - even an IDP camp - into a safe and clean birthing area. Scaling up access to clean delivery kits is crucial if we are to meet the challenges of this potential newborn health crisis.
Led by Remi – whom at the age of 49 - is the oldest Nigerian to have climbed Kilimanjaro, the Climb With Remi initative is truly inspiring. Returning to the summit at age 50, Remi is bringing attention to the plight of IDPs in Nigeria. With her team in their late forties and early fifties, the Climb With Remi is a test of human endurance that shows the power of women at any stage of their life.
