![]() We don’t have to worry about burns, accidents, diarrheal diseases and malaria. We really appreciate Amref for gifting us this lovely product. Otherwise, with the cost of living, there isn’t much more to save. If they discounted it to 50,000/- one might be able to afford it at month end after having saved 2000 per day. For a person who doesn’t earn daily, I could never have afforded it. At the current cost, so many people can’t benefit from this life changing product. I am well pleased with the crib, except for the price. Seeing the stare of our neighborhood, my baby is protected from malaria and hygiene related illnesses. The crib is such a marvel that serves us in many ways. With the crib, my baby is safe irrespective of where I sleep or the weather conditions. Without the Kokono crib, protecting my new born was bound to be very hard because, I don’t have a personal bed. I raised my hand, exhibited correctly and won the crib as a prize. After the session, they asked if any of us could demonstrate what they had learnt. They demonstrated on my friend who was a new mother then. Many pregnant mothers attended the activity where the guests taught us how to use the Kokono crib effectively. I learnt about the Kokono crib after our women’s representative at the LC committee came to let us know of Amref’s desire to speak to expectant moms at our village meeting grounds. To earn money, I work part time at a saloon and make carpets / rugs at home. At the center, I pursued hair dressing and pompom rugs / carpet making. While pregnant, I was privileged to be fully sponsored to attend vocational classes. I dropped out of school in senior two owing to COVID 19.
