BeiBei Haven Fertility Walk is an avenue for everyone to participate in raising awareness on topics relating to fertility issues.
Infertility is defined as the failure to
achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of unprotected sex or the
inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth. Secondary Infertility is
when a woman goes through the above after being able to conceive and
have a child on their own in the past.
There is so much silence surrounding
Infertility, it affect so many Nigerians but no one want to talk about
it making those having to go through it feel so alone and ashamed. We
want couples going through it to know that they are not alone. If you
know someone struggling to conceive come for the walk to show you care.
Anyone can participate either as a walker and/or donor. Funds raised
through the WALK will go towards offering free fertility treatment
cycles to low-income earners.
The foundation has partnered with 3 of
the best Fertility Clinics in Nigeria who have generously offered to
give free fertility treatments. All Fertility Treatments from
the clinics and as a result of donations will be done with them. They
are Georges Memorial Clinic (www.georgesmedical.com), The Bridge Clinic (www.thebridgeclinic.com) and The Olive Branch (www.olivebranchhm.com).
Each step of the walk is a reminder that no one with fertility challenges should walk alone.
The objective of this initiative
scheduled for the morning of the 16th of July 2016 is to remove the
stigma around infertility, support couples going through fertility
challenges and educate the populace on the reasons why some couples
struggle to conceive as well as options available for them.
Volunteers are also welcome to join the Fertility Walk 2016.
