In Tanzania, 1 out of every 23 women die during childbirth. USAID programs reduce maternal and child deaths by training individuals in safe delivery practices, antenatal care, and child illness management.
Why Our Work Matters…
Globally, most of the 7.6 million child deaths that occur every year are from preventable causes.
