Every mother deserves a safe pregnancy
We help underprivileged expectant mothers in Zimbabwe access antenatal care, counselling and the essentials their babies need — and we equip them with skills for a brighter future.
Your kindness brings hope, comfort and a brighter future
Mother's Comfort was founded on a simple conviction: no woman should lose her life, or her child's, for want of care that already exists.
We pay antenatal registration fees, provide counselling, prepare mothers with baby essentials, and train them in skills that let them provide for their families long after the birth.

From Survival to Mission : The story behind the birth of Mother’s Comfort
Becoming a mom was life transforming for me. My own birth experience took me on a deeply personal journey and ultimately inspired me to focus on underprivileged pregnant women.

Choosing Care When My Pregnancy Took an Unexpected Turn
Although seeking care at a health facility went against the religious practices I had always followed, I had to make a choice because I knew that my life and my baby’s life could be at risk.
