Lift a Mother, Change a Life

Become a Mother's Day Champion

Your Support Creates Lasting Impact

Over the past two years, RHCI has nearly tripled its impact touchpoints (from 13,024 in 2022 to 37,366 in 2024) reaching thousands more mothers and children—yet our budget has only increased by about 30%.

We are doing far more with limited resources. We cannot sustain this growth without ongoing support.

By becoming a recurring donor, you provide a foundation of care that ensures mothers and babies receive the life-saving services they need—not just today, but every.

Your donation helps provide women & children in rural Sierra Leone with critical healthcare, ensuring a healthier start for their babies. In 2024:

445 expectant mothers found safety, prenatal care, and medical support at RHCI’s Birth Waiting Homes.
7,499 maternal & child health visits were conducted through our outreach clinics, bringing care to remote villages.
2,482 newborn home visits provided mothers & babies with follow-up care in their first weeks of life.
2,908 mothers & children received vital nutrition support, preventing malnutrition and its life-threatening effects.
249 child hospitalizations were covered, ensuring no family had to choose between financial hardship and medical care.

Become a Mother’s Day Champion

This year, we are calling on our community to commit to sustained, life-saving support through recurring donations.

A monthly donation of $25 or more makes you a Mother’s Day Champion and includes a flower delivery to a loved one near the Twin Cities. If you are already giving $25 or more per month, any increase qualifies you.
A one-time gift of $300 or more also qualifies as a Mother’s Day Champion with a flower delivery near the Twin Cities.
Gifts of $1,000 or more will receive a special photo book showcasing our life-changing work in Sierra Leone.
Every donation made in honor of a loved one will receive a heartfelt Mother’s Day card mailed on your behalf.

Every donation — whether monthly or one-time — ensures our programs continue to grow and provide care to the women and children who need it most.
