About us
Women and Children First’s vision is a world where all women, children and young people can survive and thrive.
Our mission, with our supporters, is to empower local communities to take action on the critical health challenges facing them.
Women and Children First guide women to overcome their problems, setting up community health groups. These bring women and men together to find the answers they need.
They come up with life-saving ideas like bicycle ambulances, sourcing and distributing mosquito nets, and cleaning water sources. They create long-term, sustainable solutions.
Our approach is recommended by the World Health Organisation. We have reduced newborn deaths by up to 33%, maternal deaths by up to 49% and saved over 6,500 lives to date - and counting.
All of this can be achieved with your help.
