Our mission

“In a world where our collective consciousness can turn the tides of human situations, in a world where one voice, audible enough, can set into motion a collective emotional, spiritual and physical change in circumstances and people, we believe we can offer our precious little big souls, born in less privileged parts of Africa, a fighting chance.”

Our vision

• Our purpose is an un-wavering commitment to the health of premature and sick babies in reducing death and disability for pre-term babies born in Africa.

• Africa has the greatest percentage of mortality rates and thus bleak odds for pre-term babies born across our continent. Through our programs within our mission, we provide for and advocate strongly on the issues of pre-term birth in Africa.

• LittleBigSouls programmes provide care and support for the baby and the mother, serving as the audible voice for our vulnerable and sick babies to give our precious Little Big Souls, born in less privileged parts of Africa, a fighting chance.

GLOBAL REACH - WORLD PREMATURITY NETWORK
