Sponsor a Mother
WaWa Feliz has initiated a new program for single young women who can't afford prenatal
care. WaWa Feliz is looking for sponsors for individual women. The first candidates
are pictured below, along with their biographical information. If you are interested in
possibly being a sponsor, please write to us at
info@wawafeliz.org if you want more information about this program. If you are ready to sponsor a woman
listed below, click on the "Sponsor Now" button below the picture. Sponsors will
be kept up to date with pictures and commentary during the entire pregnancy, birth,
and after birth time. If Sponsor desires, and if the woman is willing, WaWa Feliz will
send the two parties the email addresses of each other, so they can communicate directly.
WaWa Feliz charges women two hundred and sixty dollars ($260.00) for a birth, which is about
average for this economy, but our services
are much more extensive, as they include all the pre and post natal care,
as well
as nutrition, exercise, and educational classes.
By involving the father of the child as much as is possible, we are working
to strengthen the family unit. Our belief is that
usually, an active, engaged father will provide vital guidance and support,
both logistical and emotional, strengthening the overall
effort to raise healthy, well-adjusted, loved children. We are working to get
the new parents to think about the child and what they as parents will need to
do both educationally and nutritionally to raise him or her well.
Our policy is to not exclude any woman who really wants to give birth with us,
regardless of her ability to pay. But the reality
of the survival of the clinic interferes with this desire at times. So we've
decided to ask for help through sponsorship of
individual pregnant women. To sponsor a pregnant woman costs five hundred
dollars ($500.00), and this covers all the costs of her
relationship with us, as well as two hundred dollars ($200.00) of food that we will
provide her with during her pregnancy to help assure she
gives birth to the healthiest possible baby. The remaining forty dollars
($500 minus $260 for WaWa Feliz, minus $200 for food), goes to cover the
cost of actually
buying and distributing the food to the sponsored mother, because, unfortunately,
we can't count on distributions of money to a sponsored mother being used as specified.
Additionally, this Forty dollars covers the cost of our
communication with you, providing you with monthly digital pictures and updates
of how your sponsored mother-to-be is progressing in her pregnancy.
