Thank you, Northbrook Church! Your support of mothers and babies at Niños de la Nueva Jerusalén Student Center, based at Iglesia Nueva Jerusalén de Asambleas de Dios in Morazan, El Salvador is currently benefiting 15 mothers and their babies. Caregivers are welcomed into a loving community where they are discipled by Survival staff and form meaningful relationships with other mothers. Together, they build skills and grow as parents.

Survival Program Spotlight: Delivery Care
The health of mothers and newborns is intricately related. Because of this, Compassion church partners provide prenatal care to give expectant moms and their babies the support they need for a safe and healthy birth. Mothers are able to attend prenatal medical appointments; in the past, they could never have considered such an expense. They also receive transportation to their local health center or hospital so they can keep those appointments. If their pregnancy has proceeded smoothly, skilled birth attendants guide and support them through the birthing process. Mothers who develop complications are connected to advanced medical care (including surgery, if necessary). After the babies arrive, the program gifts the new moms with baskets full of hygiene supplies and newborn necessities. All of this is possible through your generous giving!
