Hi FoSL Members,

This month, the FoSL Board voted to approve two projects in Salone. The first project is for six hospital beds at Murray Town Community Health Center in Lumley, Freetown. Working with Sudu Salone, this project focuses on making childbirth safer at the Murray Town Community Health Center in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The center serves over 50,000 people, mostly from low-income families, and handles more than 1,000 births every year. Right now, mothers give birth in overcrowded, unsafe conditions with broken or missing beds and poor facilities. With this project, they will purchase six hospital beds: two for labour, two for postnatal recovery, and four for the general ward. This project fills a specific gap by equipping the renovated ward, making sure mothers have a safe, dignified space to give birth. The FoSL Board approved the $4,000 grant for this project.

We wish them the best on this project and we are excited to see their success!

Take care,

The FoSL Board
