Bridging communities to better healthcare.
We work with individuals, communities and healthcare providers to address the barriers that prevent people from accessing timely, appropriate and quality healthcare.
Saving Mothers. Strengthening Families. Transforming Communities.
A community-driven public health organisation, started in Abuja in December 2023.
We connect people, communities and healthcare systems so that more women and families can reach appropriate care when they need it.
Our work began with a simple observation. Many women know they should attend antenatal care, prepare for birth or seek help when something feels wrong. Knowing is not always enough. Cost, transport, household decisions, cultural expectations and an unfamiliar health system can all stand between a woman and the care she needs.
We work in that space, alongside families, community members and healthcare providers.
Bridging the gap between knowing what to do and being able to access the care you need.
Knowing what to do
Recognising danger signs, understanding why antenatal care matters, knowing when to go to a facility.
Accessing care
Reaching a facility in time, arriving prepared, being referred and followed up.
Our four strategic pillars work together to close that gap.
Where the work happens.
MamaSafe has already reached women in Lugbe. Our other two programmes are being developed, and we are clear about which is which.
MamaSafe
Our maternal health access and safe childbirth initiative. Clean birth-preparedness supplies, maternal health education, family engagement, collaboration with health facilities and digital follow-up.
