She pledged the association’s intentions to adopt the Tumu maternity ward and support it saying, “We would want to adopt the maternity ward because mother and child would benefit as well as every woman.
When a child is born, it is born into a community and a family, so we thought that, it is a great place to start with”.

Dr Charles Wood, the Medical Superintendent at the Tumu District Hospital who received the items commended the association for the kind gesture and promised to make judicious use of them.
He praised the members for the decision to adopt the maternity ward, adding that it would help reduce the day-to-day challenges the hospital was confronting in the maternity ward.
Home Ladies is an association of women formed some three years ago on the foundation of togetherness, love and community service, made up of women from Nanyua, a suburb of Tumu.
