The Lifesaving Intervention Project has been implemented in 3 communities (Kabri, Chana and Kara) with an average of 30 cluster villages serving about 10,000 population. The Lifesaving Intervention Project focuses on remote hard-to-reach communities where the lifesaving kits are distributed and home health volunteers are trained to counsel pregnant women on birth preparedness and complication readiness.
This project have enjoyed the support of donors on through GlobalGiving and their support have enabled us to save women and children in the remotest communities in Nigeria. In March, 2020, I reported that 47 home volunteers have been trained in these communities and I am happy to report back that the volunteers has been very passionate and committed to save lives. Base on our monitoring and evaluation data collected in the community from March, 2020 to date, the Home Health Volunteers have successfully counselled and reffered a total of 256 pregnant women for ANC services in the healthcare facilities and all of them have recieved 6 months doses of antenatal medication. About half of the lifesaving kits supplied to the 3 communities have been distributed successfully (i.e 163 of the 300 kits). 56 of all women referred have successfully delivered using the kits without any complication recorded clinically. We have not recorded any birth related mortality from the 3 communties since this project commenced in the community in February, 2020. I addition to the Lifesaving kits, we have also dewormed over 5000 under-five eligible children and all eligible ones also recieved a single dose of vitamin A supplement.
This project have raised over $2000 on GlobalGiving platform and it is exciting to share that the donations recived here have significantly impacted positively this project. Our field volunteers have been closely monitoring the implemention of this project and we are excited to sharing the successes so far.
As we are working rounding up this project in these three communities in the next 6 months, we count on your continuous support and we hope to replicate this project in other communties with similar challenges.
Thank you for blieving in our cause.
