Project Details

Maternal Health Information giving project in Nsanje, Malawi.

The Urgent Need (The "Why")

Maternal Health in Crisis

In the rural district of Nsanje, mothers are dying from preventable complications. The primary barrier is not just a lack of hospitals, but a lack of information. Rural women often face delays in recognizing danger signs, lack spousal support, or are influenced by harmful socio-cultural norms.

Our Solution (The "How")

 An Integrated Approach to Safety

CHAFO launched a 24-month community-led project designed to deliver a long-term solution.

• Digital Technology: Using mobile devices to send actionable health info directly to pregnant women in local languages.
• Community Empowerment: Training local influencers, traditional leaders, and health workers to build trust and ensure sustainability.
• Holistic Support: Addressing the information gap, spousal involvement, and referral systems simultaneously.

Impact & Goals (The "What")

Our Goals for the Next 24 Months

• 🎯 40% Reduction in maternal mortality within the target communities.
• 🏥 Increased Facility Deliveries: Encouraging more women to deliver in safe health facilities.
• 🧠 Empowered Mothers: Women proficient at identifying danger signs in pregnancy and postpartum.
