Dompet Dhuafa USA has allocated a zakat fund of IDR 30,000,000 to Dompet Dhuafa East Java to support the “Ibu Hamil Sehat” program. This initiative aims to assist pregnant women in Tawangsari Village, Pujon District, Malang, East Java, through a series of structured and sustainable activities. The program seeks to enhance the health and well-being of pregnant women and their babies by providing comprehensive health services, education, and support throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.

The Socialization and Assessment

The first phase of this program involved the socialization and assessment of potential beneficiaries. A total of 25 pregnant women were selected as beneficiaries after a rigorous selection process.

Following the socialization and assessment, the next step was to provide health services and examinations to the selected pregnant women. These routine monthly check-ups are conducted to monitor the progress of the pregnancies and ensure the health of both the mothers and their unborn children.

Pregnancy Exercise Training

In addition to health check-ups, the program also includes pregnancy exercise training. This training is designed to help pregnant women stay fit and healthy, ease pregnancy-related discomforts, and prepare their bodies for labor and delivery. The exercise sessions are conducted by trained professionals who guide the mothers through safe and effective routines.

During the first three months of the program, the 25 pregnant women received support in the form of education about the importance of maintaining health during pregnancy. The results of this support showed that 80% of the pregnant women were declared healthy.

In the fourth month of the program, 15 of the beneficiaries underwent successful deliveries without any complications, and their babies were declared healthy. The latest monitoring and evaluation also indicated that the remaining 10 pregnant women who are due to give birth soon are in good health.

In addition to support, mothers who have given birth receive a one-time birth allowance stipend to help with postnatal needs, such as purchasing essential baby items, covering medical expenses, and providing nutritional support for both the mother and the newborn.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the donors who have entrusted their zakat funds to Dompet Dhuafa USA. Your support is invaluable to the continuation of this program and to the well-being of the pregnant women and their newborns. We remain committed to using these entrusted funds in the best way to achieve this program’s noble objectives.
