Our Cause

For a positive pregnancy outcome, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that every pregnant woman has at least two sonographies. These should occur before 12 weeks to confirm pregnancy and after 28 weeks to identify any medical condition that needs sonography during pregnancy.

The Adaklu District is populated with mostly rural dwellers who survive on small-holder farming, animal rearing, and hunting. The over 86,649 residents according to 2021 population census, rely on 18 health facilities in the district. With a birth rate of 39.7%, only one of the facilities provides ultrasound services, making it difficult for pregnant women to access complete care services.

The Give Right Foundation provides rural communities access to prenatal point-of-care ultrasound with the dual aim of improving prenatal care and decreasing maternal mortality. We collaborate with Butterfly, an ultrasound device company based in California, to donate portable ultrasounds to rural clinics, educate midwives in their use, and coordinate the logistics surrounding ultrasound scans with local healthcare providers.
