AMPATH’s Chamas for Change program brings independence, health and opportunities to mothers. You can change the life of a mother in Kenya by supporting AMPATH programs like the Chamas for Change initiative.
For a mother in a Chamas group, your life-changing gift will provide health education before and after her baby is born, access to microloans to help her care for her family, and peer support over three years.
Justus Elung’at Ikemer, program manager for Chamas for Change, embodies a passion for mothers and shares the incredible impact of the program to improve the health of mothers and children in western Kenya. He shares his story in this video.
“My greatest fear during this period is that I’m scared because I am not able to go fend for my child and the entire family. I don’t know what tomorrow will look like ... but I’m grateful that so far my family and I are okay”
