By The Mali Health Team | Bamako, Mali
You probably know that your support of Mali Health community health workers goes a long way, but it also has an incredible impact.
In January, our team of community health workers celebrated an amazing milestone:
For 5 years, they have not lost a single mother or child in their care.
To put that in perspective, elsewhere in Mali, 1 in 9 children still do not reach age 5. One in 26 mothers die from causes related to childbirth. These numbers are devastating - and are difficult odds to overcome.
But with your support, our community health workers have. They have served thousands of mothers and children in the past five years - and they have saved lives.
They could not have done it without your support, and we are so grateful.
We'll be celebrating this amazing accomplishment all year long, but we started with a celebration of all our community health workers in February. They work so hard for families in their communities - and they deserved a party!
Thank you so much for your support of them, and the families they serve.
Thank you for believing that all mothers and children deserve access to healthcare.
