31 high-volume health facilities.

VISION
A world where no mother dies while giving life, and every child has the opportunity to thrive through access to quality healthcare.
Our Objectives
Reduce Mortality
Improve maternal and newborn survival through quality healthcare and skilled support.
Increase Outreach
Expand access to essential maternal and newborn services in underserved communities.
Sustainability
Build lasting impact through partnerships, community ownership, and stronger health systems.
The Pain
In Uganda, approximately 50-60 newborns and 16 mothers die each day, translating to about 20,000 newborn deaths and over 5,000 maternal deaths annually. The leading causes include postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, sepsis, and obstructed labor – many of which are preventable with timely and appropriate care.
Despite widespread awareness of these challenges, frontline facilities remain under-equipped, health workers are often undertrained or unsupported, and community-level barriers delay or prevent care-seeking.
