Rotary Club of Garden City donates maternity hampers to support mothers, newborns

As part of Rotary’s observance of Maternal and Child Health Month, the Rotary Club of Garden City in Georgetown donated 25 maternity hampers to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) for distribution to 11 Indigenous mothers and 14 mothers identified as being most in need.

The initiative underscores Rotary’s commitment to improving maternal and child health by supporting mothers and giving newborns a healthy start in life.
Each hamper was carefully prepared with a wide range of essential items for both mother and baby, including clothing, toiletries, hygiene products, blankets, towels, nappies, baby care items, and other newborn necessities. The hampers were designed to provide practical support and comfort to mothers during the early days of caring for their newborns.
This initiative was made possible through the generosity of the Rotary Club of Garden City family, corporate partners, businesses, friends and individual donors who contributed items and financial support towards the preparation of the hampers. Their collective generosity ensured that mothers and their newborns received practical assistance at a time when it is needed most.
Club President Pearson Burch-Smith noted that “this small project reflects what can be achieved when people come together in service to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.”
The Rotary Club of Garden City extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who supported this initiative. Through Service Above Self, Rotary continues to strengthen families, uplift communities and create lasting impact across Guyana.
