BUILDING WELLNESS FOR MOTHERS AND NEWBORNS
New DAWN Africa , Inc.
was created in response to the dire need for maternal healthcare in Dandora,
a community on the Eastern edge of Nairobi, Kenya.
We are a network of partners committed to the delivery of
quality, dignity-based maternity services. We facilitated the construction of
Visitation at Brother Andre Medical Center, a state of the art Maternal Child Health Center,
on the grounds of Holy Cross Parish, Dandora.
Visitation staff deliver healthy babies daily!

Our Misson
"One thing we know for sure is that interventions for maternal care saves lives.
Specifically, the recommended prenatal visits, having an assisted delivery, and access to a clean, safe facility for giving birth all contribute to reducing mortality risk for mothers and babies. Giving families a chance to start out healthy means that children aren’t born orphans, mothers aren’t terrified of the very real possibility of losing their babies, and mothers can experience the joy of sparing their children from becoming HIV + or from contracting preventable diseases. Healthy mothers and babies translate into WELLNESS for an entire community.”
