Mother & Child Health Fund

In areas plagued by extreme poverty, pregnant women and children under 5 are the most vulnerable to death from preventable causes, simply because they lack basic health information, care, and access to quality facilities. When you invest in Health, your philanthropic efforts will support:

• Educating mothers about maternal and infant nutrition needs, safe birth practices, and proper postnatal care
• Training community health workers and volunteers in the recognition, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting mothers and children
• Delivering vital resources like vitamin supplements, medicine, and medical supplies
• Equipping local community leaders to address cultural values that impact the safety of pregnancy and childbirth
• Ensuring babies and children receive proper immunizations
• Providing therapeutic feeding for malnourished children and supplements for nursing mothers

Last year, 91% of the severely malnourished children we treated made a full recovery.
