Child & Maternal Health
No child should die from preventable diseases. We focus not only on the treatment of malnutrition and disease, but also on preventing them from ever occurring in the first place. We believe an investment in health care – especially maternal and child health – is vital to prevent illness and disability in children.
Our Aim
We also believe that a healthy population is a productive one; better able to move out of poverty and towards a prosperous future. We train Community Health Volunteers to screen children in their locality for the most common illnesses – malaria, diarrhoea, and respiratory infections – and equip them to provide either basic treatment or referral to a clinic.
Our community health systems focus on women, newborns, and young children (particularly during the critical first 1,000 days of their lives) to both prevent and treat malnutrition.
Give to ensure a healthy start in life
BaNgaAfayo recognizes that the health of the mother and the child cannot be separated. Providing newborns with optimal nutrition and the access to essential care ensures a healthy start in life.
