Rotary Foundation Global Grant
Project Nigeria Infant Mortality and Premature Infant Community Project
Statistics that Matter
GLOBAL PROBLEM
•An estimated 13 million preterm babies are born a YEAR
•The distribution is uneven
• Africa and Asia have the highest rate of preterm babies
•Rates are increasing every year in EVERY country according to March of Dimes
Project Nigeria
Districts Participating Host Club –Lagos Nigeria 9110
Pilot district for Future Visions Grants
International District –Lake Mary Club 6980
Both Self-Sustaining Clubs
Focus – Maternal & Child Health
The Issue Africa has a high rate
of infant mortality in premature and LBW babies
LBW infants use nearly half their energy intake maintaining body temperature, so provision of warmth and prevention of heat loss can significantly improve survival rates.
The Need Availability of
incubators/warmers are uncommon
Available equipment can be old, malfunctioning or inadequate.
Babies either have to take turns or share, risking cross infection
Babies must be transported to facilities that have available equipment
