Riders for Health

Make a difference this Mother’s Day

14 March 2011

Have you thought of the perfect gift for Mother’s Day yet? April 3rd is fast approaching so instead of sending flowers again this year, why not make a real difference with a Riders for Health gift donation?

Your gift will help support women like Lefulesele Masokanye, a mentor mother trained by non-government organisation Mothers2Mothers in Lesotho. Lefulesele is HIV positive. In 2007 she gave birth to a baby boy but, without realising it, Lufulesele had passed the virus on to her unborn baby. He died shortly after birth.

Lefulesele now visits rural communities to educate HIV positive women on how to take their anti-retroviral treatment correctly during pregnancy to avoid passing the virus to their children.

Watch this video to see how she is using her personal experiences to support other women in a similar situation.

Just £10 could buy a fortnight’s worth of fuel for a health worker, enabling them to cover hundreds of kilometres delivering vital health care to their communities.

Road traffic accidents are one of the biggest causes of premature death in Africa. Make sure that our heath workers are safe on the roads by donating £30 for the cost of a helmet.

Or £55 could provide a day’s training in safe riding and basic maintenance skills so that a health worker’s motorcycle never breaks down.

Each donation comes with a card illustrating how your gift is helping to save the lives of thousands of families across rural Africa.
