Antenatal care
We pay antenatal registration fees for underprivileged mothers so they can access skilled care throughout pregnancy — and we provide the baby essentials they need to prepare.

Every mother deserves a safe pregnancy
We help underprivileged expectant mothers in Zimbabwe access antenatal care, counselling and the essentials their babies need — and we equip them with skills for a brighter future.
Your kindness brings hope, comfort and a brighter future
Mother's Comfort was founded on a simple conviction: no woman should lose her life, or her child's, for want of care that already exists.
We pay antenatal registration fees, provide counselling, prepare mothers with baby essentials, and train them in skills that let them provide for their families long after the birth.

The founder's story and the birth of Mother's Comfort

I had to make a choice
I am a member of an apostolic sect. With placenta previa in my fifth pregnancy, I decided to go to a health facility against my religious belief.

I could not be discharged until we settled the bill
I found out I was pregnant at seven months. I knew I had missed a lot of antenatal care, and I did not have the money to register at a local clinic.
