SFD Foundation Engages Tizza Mwafo Community on World Prematurity Day 2025
Marking this year’s World Prematurity Day, the SFD Foundation led by Flora Aboyinga, Preterm Births Project Coordinator; held a community engagement event at Tizza Mwafo in Jirapa district on 17th November 2025. The global theme, “Give preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful future,” this aligns with Ghana’s “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures” campaign, promoting quality care for preterm babies to boost maternal and newborn health.
Miss Flora urged parents of “babies born too soon” to support their children’s development, highlighting the effects, dangers and prevention of preterm births.
She encouraged women and men in attendance to prioritize prevention. She expressed her appreciation to the men for participating, noting that though the event was women-focused, their involvement was welcome, and stressed the importance of men supporting their wives during pregnancy to ensure healthy births.
The event was interactive, with a Q&A session. Over 40 women and men attended.
