ENHANCING MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH (ANC/DELIVERY) FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED WOMEN IN NORTH WEST CAMEROON  The project was born out of the pressing need to support underprivileged and internally displaced women in accessing essential maternal and child health services. Limited access to healthcare facilities, financial constraints, and displacement situations have exacerbated the challenges faced by women during pregnancy and childbirth in the North West Region. Safe Hands Association implemented a program to improve maternal and child health outcomes from conception to delivery in the North West region of Cameroon. The initiative included covering laboratory investigation fees and donating emergency delivery kits, including baby clothes, to underprivileged and internally displaced women. By addressing the critical healthcare needs of vulnerable women, Safe Hands aimed to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, promote safe deliveries, and enhance overall health outcomes.  PROBLEM STATEMENT: Underprivileged women in the North West region of Cameroon face barriers to accessing quality maternal healthcare services, leading to increased risks of maternal and infant mortality. Financial burdens associated with laboratory investigations and lack of emergency delivery kits further hinder safe deliveries and postnatal care.

Safe Hands Association and the Margaret Asah Initiative Foundation successfully commemorated of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence at Kings Comprehensive College.
