(Kaieteur News) – The Rotary Club of Garden City Georgetown recently handed over 25 maternity hampers to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in observance of Maternal and Child Health month.
In close collaboration with the maternity ward, healthcare professionals identified mothers who would benefit most from the initiative. These women are from communities across Guyana.
In a release from the Rotary Club, it was explained that the hampers are intended to provide practical support and comfort to mothers and their newborns during this important stage of their journey.
Consequently, each hamper was carefully prepared with a wide range of essential items for both mother and baby, including clothing, toiletries, hygiene products, blankets, towels, nappies, baby care items and other newborn necessities.
Supporting the initiative was the Rotary Club of Garden City family, corporate partners, businesses, friends and individual donors who contributed items and financial support towards the preparation of the hampers. Their collective generosity ensured that mothers and their newborns received practical assistance at a time when it is needed most.
Club President Pearson Burch-Smith noted that “This small project reflects what can be achieved when people come together in service to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.”
The Rotary Club of Garden City extended its sincere appreciation to everyone who supported this initiative, expressing its mission to strengthen families, uplift communities and create lasting impact across Guyana through service above self.
