Midwives at Maternity Azur (MAMA) are absolutely delighted to receive the support of the Kitchen Table Charities Trust for a key aspect of our new Maternity Clinic building project in Kyarushesha, Uganda (projected completion date June 2021). Their generous grant will pay for pit latrines and wash bays, including one block specifically designed, with their help, to be disabled-friendly; incinerator; kitchen; and medical waste/placenta disposal pits. Our own premises will allow expansion and improvement of our services, with a larger labour ward; greater privacy for inpatients; an increase in our inpatient beds; and a larger outpatients department. Our current rental costs are a significant proportion of the monthly running cost, so this project aims to secure the clinic’s future sustainability. We truly do run the charity from our kitchen tables, so the relationship with this Trust seems especially fitting, and a huge thanks to them and all their supporters.
