In Cameroon, pregnant women are refused medical care if they do not have all the required items (rubbing alcohol, baby blanket, mosquito net, diapers…) A poor woman cannot afford the items, and that is the #1 reason she gives birth at home, putting her life at risk as well as that of her unborn child. Nakinti and her fellow volunteers identify pregnant refugees (IDPs), counsel them, and supply them with the items they need so they can access medical help for the births. Hooray for diapers!
