Millennium Fellowship Project: Birth not Death
Birth not death is an initiative that is geared towards combacting maternal mortality. I seek to educate women on identifying the danger signs of pregnancy and report to their health care providers early, before they become full blown complications, thereby increasing the risk of maternal deaths.
This project would involve training some other people who would not only work with me but also be able to care on the project to even beyond my target population, Nnewi in Anambra State of Nigeria. I also intend of reaching out to these women through their leaders( community and religious) who would make it easier to rally the women.
