Mary Otopha, a senior midwife in Mankoadze and mother to Yaa Yaa - whom she adopted after Yaa Yaa’s mother died in childbirth - founded the Yaa Yaa Baby Bath Scheme. The scheme provides a baby bath filled with essential items to support mothers and newborns during the first days after birth. By offering this gift, the project encourages local women to give birth at the hospital, helping to improve outcomes for both mothers and babies.

We are raising money to buy the products to fill a baby bath, each one costs around £85 and we would love to send 10 baths a month. If you would like to donate to this project, we can purchase all the required items and send them to Mary directly.
