Our Partners
Our commitment to a partnership approach means that we support programmes which are set up and run by local communities, and we assist in developing the necessary resources and capacity to carry out these programmes at low cost.
We believe in working in partnership with governments, health service providers, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and local communities, to find out what works best to reduce infant deaths. Our partners include:
Bangladesh (BADAS) Perinatal Care Project
Ethiopia - Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia (FGAE)
India - SNEHA - Society for Nutrition
UK - UCL Institute for Global Health UK
Saving Lives
Over a quarter of a million women and three million newborn babies die each year in pregnancy and childbirth or soon afterwards, the majority of them in Africa and South Asia. For every woman who dies at least twenty more suffer complications which leave them with lifelong disability and pain.
Our unique programmes are saving the lives of mothers and babies every day. We need you to help us to equip women with their most vital survival tool: knowledge.
