We are Communities for Childbirth International.
Our mission is to improve maternal, reproductive, and child health in sub-Saharan Africa.
Every day, 830 mothers die due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth–and most are highly preventable. 99% of these deaths occur in middle-to-low income countries.
