Description


This project aims to give the most vulnerable women and children in Arusha district in Northern Tanzania, particularly in households headed by children or grandmothers, access to better maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services. It seeks to establish family-centred care, by providing these services along with socio-economic support. It aims to help 3,000 women access newborn and child programs and services, by increasing the capacity and the number of service providers and local partners trained in evidence-based MNCH approaches. The project also provides socio-economic support, such as water purification, solar food drying, community gardening, and an alternative payment system, which all contribute to increasing women’s empowerment and engagement.
