Masiphumelele Library

Masiphumelele Library and Masiphumelele Clinic are working together to run an eight-week antenatal programme. The first session was held on 4 June. The programme centered on the 1000 Stories Before School initiative. Ncebakazi and Yonela presented on 1000 Stories Before School . This 1000 Stories Before school campaign gave pregnant moms deeper knowledge about how 1000 Stories Before School can benefit them and their children, including their unborn babies.

*Week 2- 11 June 202*

We focused on health care. A nurse from Masiphumelele Library gave pregnant moms-to-be health information. She made them aware of what they would experience now that they are pregnant, what is normal and what is not normal, and encouraged them to seek medical help if they notice anything that could put their unborn babies in danger.
