Maternal & reproductive healthcare for women

LET'S KEEP MOTHER'S ALIVE

Childbirth Should Be A Celebration of Life

Since 2007, we’ve been working to reduce maternal mortality in Nigeria. We are committed to building a world where maternal health is a fundamental right, not a privilege

Join the
Movement

Together we can reduce maternal mortality by 5% within the coming year. Through research, advocacy, training and direct intervention programmes, we work with our partners to provide comprehensive solutions for Nigerian women.

The Challenge

Confronting Nigeria’s Maternal
Health Crisis.

Every year, thousands of women die from preventable causes while giving birth. Together with our partners, we’re working to end this crisis. Will you please donate to save a life today?

We are proposing a pathway that involves the contribution of men and women across Nigeria to solve this problem.

Our Impact

MamaBase

We designed a pilot program to test a new model for respectful maternity care among vulnerable women from impoverished backgrounds. 7,880 women enrolled. 99.9% of the women survived childbirth.

Iyaloju Initiative

The Iyaloju Initiative intervention is a system-directed and multifaceted approach that seeks to address the maternal needs of urban poor women by targeting some root causes of the obstacles they face in accessing high-quality and respectful maternal care.

Training

MRHR recently trained doctors and nurses from primary health centres across Lagos state on the identification of emergency signs during pregnancy and how to administer the appropriate care. This include courses on uterotonics, maternal sepsis, postpartum haemorrhage etc.

Advocacy

MRH Collective held a stakeholders’ meeting with Lagos State Policy Makers to communicate insights from data collected to strengthen project design and implementation for the MamaBase project.
