BABIES' AND MOTHERS' LIVES SAVED
In 2024, LifeNet-trained healthcare providers saved 5,800 newborns and mothers by implementing proper infant CPR and postpartum hemorrhage treatments.
One woman, every two minutes, dies in childbirth each day in sub-Saharan Africa.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
We believe the answer lies in the hands of skilled local healthcare providers who, when equipped with proper tools and resources, can prevent thousands of deaths each year. Our highly-scalable approach leverages assets already active in local community facilities, by building capacity and empowering them to provide high-quality, compassionate care through our model.
40% of Africa’s healthcare services take place at faith-based facilities.
Yet they are often under-resourced and over-burdened.
LifeNet partners with 426 of these existing facilities to implement financial and management best practices, so they can become sustainable and provide quality healthcare for years to come. We ensure people in the communities we serve can flourish through a model that is both highly effective and remarkably low-cost — including training for clinical best practices, mentorship of healthcare providers and robust, ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
At LifeNet, we witness how small investments with the right solutions lead to great ROI: high quality healthcare and many lives saved.
