MOTHER & CHILD HEALTHCARE & WELFARE

World Health Organization estimates that over half a million women die at childbirth yearly worldwide, with about 99 percent of these deaths from developing countries. Every  year in  Nigeria,  there  are  about  40,000  maternal deaths  which  account  for about  14%  of  the  global  total. A woman’s chance of dying from pregnancy and childbirth in Nigeria is 1 in 13. These outrageous deaths in Nigeria have been attributed to poor access and utilization of mother and child healthcare services. Aside healthcare challenges (SDG 3), mothers and their children in Enugu are still faced with general welfare challenges like violence against women, lack of economic means (SDG 5), and lack of education for the children (SDG 4). Custos Care Foundation intervenes in these areas by accelerating access and utilization of maternal and child healthcare services in Enugu state with the hope of achieving an improved mother and child healthcare and welfare by 100% in Enugu state by 2030.

Mother & Child Healthcare & Welfare

Custoscare Foundation intervenes in these areas by accelerating access and utilization of maternal and child healthcare services in Enugu state.

Basic Education for all

According to the United Nations, there are currently about 10.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria. It’s even deeper when you realize that 1 in every 5 of the world’s out-of-school children lives in Nigeria.

Women & Youth empowerment

Women and youth constitute more than 70% of the African population. Sadly, amidst these numbers, only very few contribute positively to economies in Africa.
