Overview

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.

Impact Goals

Our maternal care program is designed to reduce preventable maternal deaths and improve the wellbeing of mothers before, during, and after childbirth.

  • Increase access to antenatal care for underserved women in rural and urban communities.
  • Improve maternal nutrition by providing food and supplement support to vulnerable mothers.
  • Strengthen emotional resilience by expanding access to mental health support groups and counseling.
  • Reduce emergency risks by ensuring more mothers receive clean, ready-to-use delivery kits.
  • Empower communities to take an active role in maternal health education and support.

What we do

Empowering young people and communities with knowledge, resources, and support to make informed reproductive health choices — breaking barriers, reducing risks, and building healthier futures.

Antenatal Education

We organize group classes and one-on-one sessions to teach expectant mothers about safe pregnancy, warning signs, birth preparation, and postpartum recovery.

Mental Health Support

Pregnancy can come with emotional and psychological challenges.Special focus is given to preventing and managing postpartum depression.

Nutrition Aid

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.

Emergency Birth Preparedness Kits

To reduce maternal deaths from unexpected complications, we distribute clean delivery kits that include essentials like sterile gloves, sanitary pads, antiseptic, and newborn supplies.
