Help Us Reach Women and Girls in East and Southern Africa
Pregnancy and childbirth do not pause during crises. In East and Southern Africa, underfunded responses, such as in Ethiopia and Uganda, are keeping critical healthcare and protection services out of reach for many. In Democratic Republic of Congo the ongoing conflict has made it harder for women to receive essential support and supplies with 8.7 million people in urgent need of health care and services.
You can make a life-saving difference.
