No mother should die while giving life.
You're carrying new life, but you're worried. Worried about whether your baby is healthy. Worried about affording care. Worried about the 25km journey to the nearest clinic. You shouldn't have to face this alone.

Why Are Mothers Still Struggling?
Every day, 800 mothers in Sub-Saharan Africa face the disheartening fate of preventable death. You want the best for your baby, but barriers stand in your way:
1
🕐
Delay in Seeking Care
"I didn't know something was wrong until I got rushed to the hospital."
Mothers in rural communities often lack awareness of danger signs due to lack of diagnostic tools at the community-level. With 65% of high-risk pregnancies going undetected, many women don't seek help until a crisis hits.

📍
Delay in Reaching Care
"The nearest clinic is 25 km away. With no ambulance, getting there is a nightmare when an emergency occurs."
When complications arise, mothers face treacherous journeys of 25–30 km to reach the nearest facility. Poor roads, no transport, and vast distances turn emergencies into tragedies.

Delay in Receiving Care
"We arrived, but with no insurance cover we were turned away until we could raise the admission fees."
Even when mothers reach a facility, overstretched hospitals with scarce resources, unnecessary referrals, and 85% out-of-pocket costs create barriers that cost lives and push families into poverty.

It takes about 2-3 hours to get to the neareast clinic from my home. I worried constantly about my baby. When Maternanet came on board, they helped flag a high-risk sign at about 6 and a half months — something I would have missed until it was too late. I got care immediately, and my baby is healthy.
