Our work
Practical support across three pillars.
Each program responds to needs identified with hospital partners.
Medical Equipment & Supplies
- The challenge
- Many neonatal units work with limited or aging equipment and inconsistent access to essential supplies.
- Our approach
- We start from hospital assessments, sourcing appropriate equipment that teams can use and maintain.
- Activities
- Needs assessments with neonatal units
- Sourcing incubators, monitors and consumables
- Maintenance planning with hospital staff
- How to participate
- Equipment suppliers and funders can contribute items or fund specific needs.
Clinical Training & Capacity Building
- The challenge
- Equipment is only as effective as the skilled teams using it.
- Our approach
- We support practical, hands-on learning in collaboration with Senegalese clinicians and educators.
- Activities
- Neonatal resuscitation practice
- Skills workshops with partner educators
- Ongoing mentorship
- How to participate
- Clinical educators and institutions can contribute curricula, time and expertise.
Family Support
- The challenge
- NICU parents are often left out of their baby's care. Limited space for families, too few breast pumps and the cost of transport make it harder for them to be present, informed and involved.
- Our approach
- We help neonatal units make room for parents as partners in care, from practical support to be at the bedside to resources that keep them informed and involved.
- Activities
- Family-centered care practices
- Parent information resources
- Practical support to be present (kangaroo care supplies, breast pumps, transport to follow-up)
- How to participate
- Community groups, health workers and partners can help shape and deliver support for NICU families.
