When A Mother Survives

Hope Memorial Spark Foundation is dedicated to eliminating preventable maternal deaths through the SPARK system,reaching mothers before risk begins, sustaining care through pregnancy, and protecting life after delivery.
In Monduli District, pregnancy is often a test of survival — not a moment of anticipation.
Learn MoreOur Approach
The SPARK System
Support for Prenatal and Postnatal Anaemia Resilience Kit — three connected interventions that form a closed loop, ensuring no mother is lost between stages.
Early Engagement
Reach her before risk begins. Connect women to care in the first trimester — before anaemia becomes invisible and dangerous.
- Early Antenatal Linkage
- Baseline Screening
- Nutrition Awareness
- Immediate Supplementation
Continuous Care
Build resilience through pregnancy. Anaemia evolves — so care must be consistent, structured, and guided across all trimesters.
- Ongoing Anaemia Monitoring
- Sustained Supplementation
- Nutrition Counseling
- Safe Delivery Preparation
Postnatal Recovery
Protect the mother after survival. Delivery is not the endpoint — recovery is where the cycle is either broken or reinforced.
- Postnatal Anaemia Screening
- Recovery Supplementation
- Breastfeeding Support
- Community Follow-Up
Early Engagement → Continuous Care → Postnatal Recovery = A Closed Loop System
