Pregnancy and childbirth should be moments of joy, yet for many women in Nigeria, they are filled with uncertainty, fear, and risk. Too often, expectant mothers lack access to antenatal care, proper nutrition, or emotional support. These gaps leave women vulnerable to complications that could otherwise be prevented.
Lumara Foundation steps into this space with compassionate, community-driven maternal care initiatives. We believe every woman deserves the right knowledge, resources, and dignity throughout her journey to motherhood.
Our maternal care program is designed to reduce preventable maternal deaths and improve the wellbeing of mothers before, during, and after childbirth.
Empowering young people and communities with knowledge, resources, and support to make informed reproductive health choices — breaking barriers, reducing risks, and building healthier futures.
We organize group classes and one-on-one sessions to teach expectant mothers about safe pregnancy, warning signs, birth preparation, and postpartum recovery.
Pregnancy can come with emotional and psychological challenges.Special focus is given to preventing and managing postpartum depression.
Many pregnant women in underserved communities suffer from malnutrition. We provide nutrition support packages containing essential food items, supplements, and vitamins to promote healthy pregnancies.
To reduce maternal deaths from unexpected complications, we distribute clean delivery kits that include essentials like sterile gloves, sanitary pads, antiseptic, and newborn supplies.
