Project Needs and Beneficiaries
At present, if there is a critical care situation, a patient must be moved to Jericho for treatment on bad, often restricted, roads at least a two hour trip. Cases such as critical care baby with complications after childbirth or a mother who has a tearing during childbirth, which puts her into a critical condition that could mean her life. The equipment & training you will provide for the clinic is capable of saving a mother and child’s life. It will change a room of death into a room of life.

By Tahsin Siddique - Community Outreach Intern, August 19, 2009 11:06 AM
Due to your wonderful generosity, our 1st Palestinian Birthing Center in the Jordan River Valley received the support of the most number of donors in GlobalGiving UK’s Alive and Learning challenge! GlobalGiving will give us a grant of 250 pounds! We could not have done this without your help! We are so grateful to our wonderful supporters for coming through for us to launch this important project.
Fund raising will continue for the Al-Aqaba Birthing Center project through the months to come, so please do spread the word! We are very excited to watch this very important project take shape. We look forward to the day that pregnant mothers can give birth to their babies in a safe, accessible environment equipped for emergencies. We are in the process of applying for more grants and hope to fulfill this dream very soon!
In further news, the new American Consul General is scheduled to visit Al-Aqaba this week! Haj Sami Sadik, the Mayor of Al-Aqaba has told us that he speaks Arabic! More news to come soon!
We are grateful to all of you for helping us succeed in the challenge.
Sincerely,
Tahsin
