Hall Steps Foundation Completes Maternity Clinic in Rural Senegal

After visiting Pout, Senegal where Sara’s brother-in-law, Sidiya, is from, and in the country where her sister does malaria research, Sara and Ryan worked with them to redo the maternity ward at a local health clinic that was in a very scary state.  In a country where maternal mortality is 1 in every 54 mothers, and infant mortality is 54%, the need was very clear.  Sara is excited to see it when she travels to Senegal this July!
