Help Us Save Lives

Help us save lives of mums and bubs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Collaborate with us to provide rural obstetric emergency training to healthcare workers, including traditional birth attendants on the front line in remote villages.

The nation of 104 million people has one of the highest number of maternal and neonatal deaths in the world. Latest figures record the maternal mortality ratio at 547 deaths for every 100,000 live births, and its neonatal rate – the number of babies dying before 28 days of life – at 27 per 1,000 live births.

Our train-the-trainer project aims to provide Congolese healthcare teams with the necessary skills and equipment to manage life threatening obstetric emergencies.

You can help us make a difference!
