The partnership is designed to support The Audrey Pack in the fight against maternal and child infant mortality in Nigeria. It will ensure that alongside providing pregnant and new mothers with relevant health information, mothers also receive a quick and easy way to access affordable nutrition and essential personal and childcare items.

Pregnant women and new mothers are encouraged to register in hospital to receive these materials for antenatal care and immunization. Jumia will also be kicking off the partnership with the first ever Jumia Baby Week.
The online Jumia Baby Week will run from May 2nd to 5th, 2017 and parents all over Nigeria can shop the best prices on all things babies from global brands like Pampers, Huggies, Moflix, Johnson, Aptamil and more.
