Dear Friend — Below is Thursday’s message from Banneh, one of Project HOPE’s Program Managers. She wants to help more moms and babies in Sierra Leone and around the world have the best chance for survival. So, she set a Mother’s Day goal to raise $50,000 for Project HOPE by 11:59 PM tonight.
Many caring people like you have donated. Your gift, which matching funds will double, can get us to $50,000. Your contribution won’t just bring critical support to people around the world... it can help ensure that birth attendants are available for women in labor, train neonatal nurses to treat sick and premature newborns and teach moms how best to keep their babies healthy.

Every dollar can make a lifesaving difference.
With gratitude and urgency,

P.S. Here’s a direct link to make a 2X-multiplied gift to help Banneh meet her $50,000 Mother’s Day goal to rush aid to pregnant women and babies around the world. ProjectHOPE.org/Banneh.

Dear Friend,
It’s Banneh from Sierra Leone! Since I sent my email on Tuesday, many of your fellow Project HOPE supporters have donated to help me raise $50,000 by Mother’s Day. Please help by making your gift now when matching funds will double your impact for moms, babies and families.
You will be helping deliver HOPE for babies like Aisha. Born weighing only three pounds, Aisha was admitted to the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at a children’s hospital in Sierra Leone. Project HOPE provides the SBCU with lifesaving training for neonatal nurses and other health care providers — as well as training to the hospital’s maintenance staff so they can keep the limited, but critical medical equipment they have operating correctly. And this year, we’re repairing the SBCU’s water tank so new moms and babies will have clean water again.

After three weeks in the SCBU, Aisha gained nearly one pound and was able to be moved to the Kangaroo Care Unit established by Project HOPE. Here, nurses helped her mother, Khadija, nurse and hold her daughter skin-to-skin. One year later, Aisha is a small, but strong baby at eleven pounds with no complications.
