Our Mission

  • Awareness for every expecting mother — in clinics, markets and communities
  • Rhesus screening and counselling so no mother is caught by surprise
What We Do

Programs that protect mothers & babies

From community awareness to free Anti-D injections, our programs work as one system so that rhesus sensitization never steals another baby’s healthy start.

How It Works

From awareness to a healthy start

Four simple steps stand between rhesus incompatibility and a healthy baby. We walk every mother through all of them, free of charge.

01

Know Your Status

Free blood-group and antibody screening at any outreach — because prevention starts with knowing you are Rhesus-negative.

02

Get Counseled

Our educators explain what sensitization means for your pregnancy — in plain language, in your community, at no cost.

03

Receive Anti-D Free

Qualified mothers receive Anti-D Immunoglobulin Prophylaxis injections for FREE at the right points in pregnancy.

04

Healthy Start

Protected from sensitization, your baby arrives healthy — and every future pregnancy starts safer too.

Voices

Stories from the Rhesus family

After my first baby was lost to rhesus incompatibility, nobody explained anything to me. Rhesus Aid Foundation screened me, counselled me and gave me my Anti-D injection free. Today my rainbow baby is one year old.

I volunteer at every screening outreach in my ward. In fifteen minutes a woman can learn her rhesus status and get the counselling that protects her next baby — that is the most powerful quarter-hour in public health.

Rhesus sensitization is entirely preventable, yet it still kills babies in 2026. RAF’s free Anti-D programme closes the gap between what medicine knows and what mothers can access — they are doing the work hospitals alone cannot.
