Fatima is a mother of three who has been supported by the Mainstay Foundation’s Mother and Child Programme since 2021. During her third pregnancy, Fatima faced significant challenges. Her husband’s work as an auto driver meant an irregular income and, due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, government hospitals were unable to admit her.
Throughout her pregnancy, Fatima was provided with essential care via the Mother and Child Programme. TMF provided financial assistance for Fatima’s delivery at a private hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl, Saniyah Zehra. Both mother and child continued to receive support through to Saniyah’s second birthday.
Fatima sent a heartfelt letter of thanks for the assistance received through the Mother and Child Programme. She emphasised her gratitude for the project’s crucial role in ensuring a safe delivery and the well-being of her daughter.
