KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Since 2016, we have:
- Been successfully working for safer motherhood with community stakeholders and Ethiopian partners in rural Ethiopia.
- Served more than 900 women through our Screen, Transport and Treat Program.
- Implemented infrastructure for WASH and maternal health in 9 of 14 targeted health facilities including 3 district hospitals and 6 health centers. As a result a health system of care is now emerging in the West Omo Zone, one of the most underserved areas of Ethiopia.
- Trained more than 480 nurse midwives in basic emergency maternal obstetric and neonatal care.
With your help, we are changing the lives of women in rural Ethiopia – one mother at a time.
