– Maternal, Newborn and Child Health
– Training midwives and health staff to ensure safe birthing practices
– Developing community support mechanisms for women of reproductive age, pregnant women and women with children under five
– Establish savings groups to support health seeking behaviours and fund referrals
– Promoting equity in health systems to ensure sustainable resources to remote health facilities and essential services to remote people
– Nutrition and Early Child Development particularly in the first 1,000 day window
– Nutrition education integrated with ECD programs
– Training health workers on growth monitoring and nutrition counselling
– Promoting PD Hearth for good nutrition practices
– Kitchen garden training, food preparation and micro nutrients to improve nutrition outcomes
– Developing sanitation solutions in communities, health facilities and schools through WASH
– Aligning with the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach
– Promoting environmental sanitation campaigns
– Gender sensitive awareness sessions in schools, health facilities, communities and households
– Constructing wells, gravity flow piped water systems and rain water collection to meet needs and ensure drinking water quality at source or through filtration and treatment
