Women and Babies Dying Becasue of the lack of Light


'Solar suitcase' saving moms, babies during childbirth


             Each year about 4% of Nigeria's babies die before reaching 28 days old. Each year about 14% of Nigeria's women die during childbirth. They die because nurses and docters don't have any light to see to help the mother give birth. But, Stachel found a solution. She created a suitcase of electricity for when things like that happen. I think that this article is important because lack of money keeps nurses and docters from buying or spending money on lights/electricity. I also think it's important because lots of children and women are dying because of the lack of money and electricity. Also, it's incredible that a women found a solution and can stop the death of babies and mothers.
