our flagship project
Save Our Babies Africa Support Initiative (SOBASI)
SOBASI is the flagship project of the African Foundation for Premature Babies and Neonatal Care (AFPNC) in partnership with Elorkor Brands. AFPNC is the program implementation wing for SOBASI whereas Elorkor Brands is the fundraising engine of the project.
SOBASI team is working with Stakeholders and Partners to ensure that set targets to reduce mortality rate, misconceptions and provide a fighting chance for babies born too soon in rural areas and African countries recovering from war are achieved.
Our work has started in Ghana and reaching out to other African countries. The initiative has put together a robust approach in contributing to the cause of providing a fighting chance for preterm babies born in Ghana, especially in remote districts.
The SOBASI-Ghana Goal
The focus of this initiative is to partner with stakeholders to embark on an awareness campaign to reduce misconceptions surrounding premature births and babies, causes and prevention of premature births and deaths, raise funds to establish standard Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in district hospitals especially in remote areas and refurbish existing ones in Ghana.
The SOBASI Approach
At SOBASI, we adopt every proper and acceptable means that has received attention in our generation to create awareness and raise funds to sustain our projects. As a rescue team, we believe that stakeholders can reduce excuses relating to causes of death of babies born prematurely if we adopt a creative and radical approach to raising funds to support initiatives and create awareness.
