According to the World Health Organization, about 830 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications around the world every day. Almost all of these deaths occur in low-resource settings including at home deliveries. Most can be prevented. That’s why CMMB’s community health workers monitor the childbearing intentions of women in the catchment areas for which they are responsible and refer all pregnant women to a health facility for antenatal care and a safe delivery. Helen is a mother of six. She had her first 5 babies at home but delivered her last at a healthcare facility. Helen was initially afraid to give birth at the clinic because of the stigma of poverty. While she received regular prenatal care at the clinic during each pregnancy, she stayed home to deliver with a traditional birth attendant. Helen was in labor for what felt like days with her sixth child before finally deciding to seek help at the clinic. The nurses were encouraging and supportive, and Helen safely delivered a healthy baby boy. Helen is now an advocate for the women in her community, promoting safe delivery in health facilities.
