Speaking when she handed over hampers to the mother, Livingstone Mayor, CONSTANCE MULEABAI, encouraged the community to help the family raise the triplets.

Ms. MULEABAI, who has also given hampers to six other mothers, four at LUTH and one at Maramba Clinic, has thanked the health staff for facilitating safe deliveries of the New Year babies.

The Mayor has however advised two seventeen-year-old mothers to consider getting back to school.
