Dear Natasha, Vivek, Patrice, David, Venkat, Amit, and Susan and James,

Sangeetha sells old and used clothes and her husband makes duplicate keys. Both of them ply their trade on the side of the road, and between them earn around Rs. 2,500 rupees ($55) per month. This amount is barely enough to meet their modest needs, and since they do not have any savings to sustain them in lean times, Sangeeta cannot afford to stop working during her pregnancy.

Sangeetha finds the comprehensive prenatal care provided to her at AIC’s Health Centre to be invaluable to her health and wellbeing during this pregnancy. The care she receives includes regular counseling, monthly check-ups and medical care for the duration of her pregnancy and nutritional supplementation (mid-day meals and vitamins). She will also be receiving all possible assistance during delivery.

Your donations, Susan and James, Amit, Venkat, David, Patrice (x2), Vivek and Natasha, will ensure that AIC can provide the best possible antenatal care, and do everything possible that Sangeeta welcomes a healthy and happy baby into the world.

Sangeetha’s pregnancy is progressing well, and she is looking forward to become a mother for the first time.
