Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (MNCH)

At the heart of every thriving community is the health of its mothers and children. At RACHI, we work to ensure that no woman dies giving life and no child is denied a healthy start simply because of where they were born.

Our MNCH program focuses on protecting the lives of mothers, newborns, and children in hard-to-reach communities such as Bussi Island and surrounding Lake Victoria landing sites. These are areas where access to skilled health care is limited and preventable deaths are still far too common.

We respond to this challenge with practical, community-centered solutions.

We support women throughout pregnancy and childbirth by connecting them to antenatal care, safe delivery services, and postnatal follow-up. We educate mothers and families about essential newborn care, exclusive breastfeeding, family planning, and danger signs to watch for in both mother and child.

Our trained community health volunteers are the bridge between local families and professional health services. They go door to door, hold group sessions, and accompany mothers to clinics to make sure no woman is left behind.

We also work closely with local health centers to strengthen referral systems, provide essential supplies, and advocate for improved maternal and child health services at the district level.

By protecting mothers, we protect generations.
