More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Every day, 1,500 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries and most are avoidable. Darfur is widely recognised as the worst humanitarian crisis today. The maternal and under 5 mortality rates in the region are some of the highest in the world. The 3,000 pregnant women we will be working with are in the regions of Um-Kher, Ammar Jedid, Konley, and Kurdol in Garsila where there is a serious lack of basic health care services

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The long term impact will be the improvement of the hospital facilities and also the increased knowledge of local health care workers who will be trained by IMC in safe motherhood practices so they can serve their communities for the long term.

Project Message

Why work continue to work in Darfur? -We continue because the conflict continues, we continue because we cannot turn a blind eye to the escalating violence, we continue to because there is no one else
