Uno mentioned that the gesture is being done to support and show love to parents who have gone through a season of stress, most especially mothers carrying the pregnancy for such a time.
She added that new mums experience negative feelings that go unnoticed after childbirth due to stress they go through during pregnancy. Some develop mental health issues in the first few weeks or months after childbirth; hence the need to give support, encouragement and love to them by JCI Uyo City through the Impact baby Project.
The two families who benefited from the project expressed their profound gratitude to the President and her team for the kind gesture and prayed earnestly for the Organization.
