The Mama Baby Fund is an emergency fund based in Karachi, Pakistan that provides women and newborns with emergency medical treatments and supplies.

Founded in 2015-the Mama Baby Fund serves as a rapid response fund for emergency needs that women and their families don't account for in maternal and gynecological care such as preterm birth, incubator fees, extra medicine costs, and multiple bags of blood. It also responds to in-kind needs with newborn clothes, diapers, baby oil, supplements for the mother etc. Mama Baby Fund in the news here:

On Baba Island, a lack of resources only worsens the impacts of climate change. This Ramazan, we’re sharing stories from Baba Island and highlighting the reality that people in the coastal communities face every day.

For pregnant women, the daily conditions can quickly become dangerous. Zainab was in her third trimester when a lack of cooking gas forced her to travel to the mangroves in peak summer heat to collect firewood. That same day, a water shortage occurred and she had to carry 12 buckets of water up and down the stairs.

The physical strain and exhaustion caused severe pain and bleeding. By the time she reached the hospital, Zainab received devastating news: her baby no longer had a heartbeat. She delivered a stillborn child.

Her story is not an isolated tragedy. Across coastal communities, women rely on mangrove wood for cooking fuel, burn it in smoke-filled spaces, and carry heavy loads of water daily - all while navigating pregnancy without consistent access to care. Many of our clinic regulars have complained about eye-sight issues and breathing problems for themselves and their children.

At MBF, our work takes a climate lens because the lives of women in these communities are already shaped by climate breakdown. Energy, water, and health are inseparable — and no mother should have to risk her life, or her child’s, just to meet her family’s basic needs.

This Ramzan, your support helps protect the most vulnerable at the most critical moments of life. Your donation is climate action.

This Ramzan, Mama Baby Fund is highlighting the coastal communities we serve and where climate change is not a distant threat, but a daily reality.

Extreme heat, rising sea levels, environmental decline, and loss of livelihood are placing immense pressure on the families we see. As we know, climate change disproportionately affects women and children the most. We are seeing rising pregnancy complications, newborn health challenges, and preventable illnesses linked directly to climate vulnerability.

Through emergency transport, maternal and pediatric care, safe deliveries, and fully funded referrals, Mama Baby Fund is working to ensure that no mother or baby is left without care. Our Baba Island clinic has served as a safety net for these coastal communities, and because of it, we have seen the maternal and newborn health landscape change for the better.

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing stories from the families behind this work — and inviting you to be part of protecting maternal and newborn health on the frontlines of climate change.

This Ramzan, your support means climate action, and helps those who need it most.

Kabeer was only four months old when his family brought him from Salehabad to our Baba Island Clinic. He was suffering from fever, persistent cough, and a severe respiratory infection. Alongside this, he had been struggling with an intense case of scabies for nearly three months, causing extreme discomfort and distress.

In the coastal island communities we serve, cases like Kabeer’s are tragically common. Families often live in overcrowded homes with limited access to clean water, sanitation, and ventilation. Rising temperatures, humidity, coastal flooding, and environmental degradation worsen living conditions, allowing respiratory and skin infections to spread rapidly, especially among infants with developing immune systems.

Due to Kabeer’s fragile condition and young age, he required hospital-based treatment, medications and close monitoring. Mama Baby Fund arranged his immediate admission to RIMS Hospital, and covered the full cost of his care, removing the financial burden from his family. With timely intervention and proper treatment, Kabeer made a full recovery, and can be seen after, healthy and happy!

His story is a reminder that climate vulnerability and healthcare access are deeply connected — and that timely, accessible care can be life-saving. Through Mama Baby Fund’s clinic at Baba Island, we work not only to provide immediate medical care but to help mitigate the health impacts of environment related challenges.

Your contributions, no matter how small, allow us to help those who need it most.

Asma Akthar was 31 when she came to our Baba Island clinic with her fifth pregnancy, and a history of four miscarriages over ten years of marriage. She was extremely distressed and worried of repeating the losses she had suffered.

With the support of Mama Baby Fund, Asma received consistent care, essential support, and close follow-up throughout her pregnancy and a referral to Lady Dufferin Hospital. At 37 weeks, timely decisions led to the safe delivery of a healthy baby girl through a C-section - pictured here!

Born at just 30 weeks, Durushan weighed just 800 grams. She was the only surviving one from a set of twins delivered during preterm labor.

Her mother, Taj Bibi, had presented with complications at Hub Chowki, and both babies were delivered with very low birth weight and compounding health complications. Durushan faced overwhelming odds from the start. She developed respitory distress syndrome, sepsis, and acute kidney failure. After initial care in multiple facilities, MBF transferred her to RIMS TRAUMA for NICU care, where she remained for several days.

Today, she weighs almost 5 pounds and is healthy and stable, pictured here with Taj Bibi.

Cases like this are why our NICU fund exists.

It is open to babies all over Pakistan, and serves as a lifeline for premature and critically ill newborns who would otherwise not have access to specialized care.

Sanam Noman survived, but the cost was steep.

Sanam came to us during her fifth pregnancy. She has one living son—every pregnancy after him ended in loss due to uncontrolled pregnancy-induced hypertension.

In her sixth month, she woke up in the middle of the night bleeding heavily. By the time she made the journey from the island to Karachi and reached Lady Dufferin Hospital, she had lost a dangerous amount of blood.

Doctors diagnosed that her baby girl had already passed away in utero. Sanam tells us she could feel herself fading and did not believe she would survive.

She received 10 bags of blood, 8 bags of platelets, emergency medication, and underwent a 5-hour life-saving procedure.

The bleeding was stopped—but the damage was severe. Sanam went into acute kidney failure and was transferred to SIUT for dialysis.

After six days, her kidneys began to recover.

When we visited her, she told us: “I lost my baby, but I am lucky to be alive.”

The total cost of blood came up to PKR 80,000. The procedures cost PKR 150,000.

Without support, she knows she would not have survived.
This is why access matters. Your donations, no matter how small, help those who need it most.

Remember Baby A? Here he is now! Baby A, Mohammed Ahsan lives on baba island, has downs syndrome and had a very rough start. He spent much of his first few months in and out of the hospital with a heart condition, a stomach surgery and feeding difficulties, and platelet issues.

However, Baby A and his parents are fighters and he is now 5 months old and doing much better. Downs Syndrome has been a difficult condition for him in a community where there is not much awareness of his diagnosis, but his family and all of us are learning how best to care for him and we are now referring him to for the support and therapies him and his family need going forward. Please send Baby A and his family some love and support 💜
