Mother's Day Cards to Benefit Delivering Hope Project


What is Delivering Hope? Delivering Hope is dedicated to helping reduce the number of infant and maternal deaths in Liberia by giving them the tools they need for a clean delivery along with
educating them on the importance of delivering babies in a clean environment. We will
also be providing prenatal vitamins, plus teaching them the importance of taking these
throughout their pregnancy to help supplement where their diets are lacking.

We believe that every baby needs their mother, and every mother needs their baby!

And now you can help! Buy your mother's day card from Global Orphan Outreach- Delivering Hope and the proceeds of this card will go to help save a mother and child's life in Liberia by providing a birthing kit. The cost-$10.00

Call us or email us today- Mother's Day is coming soon.






Unlike most African countries which are improving maternal health, in Liberia maternal
mortality is actually on the rise. Liberia is a country where the basics of life are almost
non-existent, especially in the outlying villages like the Kpeletayama Village. Most of these
women do not have access to even the most basic health services, due to location and lack of
money. The majority of women in Liberia deliver their babies at home with the help of a
local “midwife” who has had no official training. By providing these women with a birthing kit
and some simple instructions, they will be able to have a clean delivery which will greatly
help reduce the occurrence of infection in both the mother and baby, along with reducing
the incidence of tetanus. Just by providing a plastic sheet for them to lay on for delivery,
rubber gloves, clean razor blade and ties for the umbilical cord, soap, and antibacterial gel
we can greatly improve the chance at life for the mother and baby.


Liberia is 2nd highest in the world for maternal deaths, and
50% of the infants born die of either infection or tetanus
from not having access to a clean delivery. By providing
these women with a birthing kit that costs under 10 dollars,
we can help reduce the infant and maternal mortality rate in Liberia.
