The first days of life are the most fragile for a child. Yet, many newborns in underserved Nigerian communities begin their journey without access to basic care items or health guidance for their families. This lack of support contributes to preventable illnesses, infections, and even infant deaths.
Lumara Foundation Newborn Kits & Follow-up Program bridges this critical gap. We provide essential kits, breastfeeding education, and community-based follow-up visits to ensure every newborn has the healthiest possible start.
Our newborn support program focuses on giving babies a safe start and parents the confidence to care for them.
Empowering young people and communities with knowledge, resources, and support to make informed reproductive health choices — breaking barriers, reducing risks, and building healthier futures.
Each kit includes diapers, baby clothes, blankets, soap, and basic hygiene items to ensure newborns are cared for from the first day.
Mothers receive guidance on the importance of breastfeeding, safe sleeping practices, and proper hygiene.
Our volunteers and health partners conduct home visits to check on the baby’s progress, answer questions, and identify early health risks.
By equipping parents with resources and knowledge, we reduce anxiety, build confidence, and foster stronger parent–child bonds.
