In northern Ethiopia, the kebele – or community – of Yifag is coming together to improve the health and well-being of their mothers and newborns. It’s an uphill battle. Nationally, roughly 80% of deliveries occur at home, and interventions like antenatal and postnatal care are underutilized.
But with support from MCSP, every level of Yifag kebele is doing its part to save lives. Whether it’s in conversations under a local tree or a sermon from a community pastor, residents are using their voices and taking action to improve their health.
