African Mothers Health Initiative

Providing nursing care to vulnerable Malawian babies and mothers after delivery

In Malawi, maternal and infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world. AMHI partners with Chimwemwe mu’bereki/Joyful Motherhood to provide nursing care to vulnerable babies and sick women after delivery. Our Mother Care Program provides in-home support to critically ill postpartum women. Our Baby Care Program provides nurse visits, formula, and care to vulnerable newborns for the entire first year of their lives. Our in-country partner, Joyful Motherhood, employs nurse-midwives to provide services. www.africanmothers.org
