Leila (30 years old) woke up every day carrying the pain of six years of marriage without fulfilling her dream of motherhood. Sleepless nights no longer eased her fatigue, and her tear-filled eyes carried the longing for the child she had been waiting for. Life in Al-Munira District, Al-Hodeidah Governorate, was extremely difficult, amid ongoing crises and extreme poverty, making access to treatment nearly impossible.
Despite her feelings of loneliness and the fear of others’ questions and glances, Leila never lost hope. She sold all her gold in an attempt to seek treatment and traveled to Al-Hodeidah in search of an opportunity to fulfill her dream, but she returned disappointed after exhausting all her resources.
With continued faith in God, the Integrated Reproductive Health Services project, implemented by All Girls Foundation and funded by UNFPA at Al-Munira Rural Hospital, offered her the chance to monitor her pregnancy for free with a specialized doctor, including all services, examinations, and medications for six months. During this period, Leila felt safe and supported, and her visits to the doctor became a source of comfort and joy amid the daily hardships.
Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived: her pregnancy test was positive! Tears of joy filled her eyes, and she felt as if the whole universe was celebrating with her. With continuous follow-up throughout her pregnancy, Leila was blessed with a healthy baby girl, beginning a new chapter of life filled with happiness and hope.
