Educate and support Vulnerable Pregnant Women

Imagine…

You are a refugee in a foreign country. Your baby is about to be born. Instead of excitement, you are filled with fear. The language barrier makes communication impossible, leaving you feeling isolated and afraid to go to a hospital. As a refugee, how will you be treated? Will your baby survive an unassisted home birth? And how will you pay the bill anyway?

With YOUR help

Breathe Life can ensure a calm and safe home labour, a hospital birth providing medical supervision and birth records, and, with your financial generosity, lessen the anxiety upon discharge, by a partial subsidy of the hospital bill.

Providing Education

Imagine…

These babies growing up and not having access to any education. All you want, is for them to have what you never did; the opportunity an education provides, to change their future.

With YOUR help

Breathe Life, in partnership with Equal Start, can give them education opportunities, and break the poverty cycle.

Mental Health Improvement

Imagine…

Life feels intolerable. The suppressed traumas of genocide and refugee life, leaves you feeling numb. But eventually unhealthy responses unexpectedly begin to manifest.

Being a refugee is hard
Being a birthing refugee is even harder!

Malaysian law does not allow for home births and thus medical expenses are beyond the means of these families. Together with financial assistance, we advocate and defend them when they are most vulnerable. There is a desperate need for families to be assisted as unemployment is high and many have been laid off due to the Covid crisis.

UNHCR assistance is given only to those who are documented - many are not documented and without a voice, can be arrested and imprisoned - even during pregnancy and birth. Our presence and advocacy protects them to some extent.

Seize the opportunity to bring light into their darkness....
