Millennium Fellowship Project: SAWAZISHA
This project is aiming to help women with disabilities,pregnant women living with disabilities have always been faced with lots of challenges in my community arising from lack of proper health care and data to follow up on these women.This has increased infant mortality rate and maternal mortality and is the problem my project has been looking forward to solve.
