About our campaign
Join the With Women community today
The Limbe District of Cameroon has been experiencing significant disruption to the health care system due to a restructure of health services in 2006, as well as the ongoing civil crisis since 2016. This has led to lack of access to free healthcare, few skilled health workers and families being displaced due to conflict. It has been estimated that in some of the rural areas, the maternal mortality rate is as high as 25%. This means that 1 in 4 women may die around the time of birth – leaving families without a wife, daughter, and mother. The infant mortality is also very high at approximately 50 deaths per 1,000 live births.
The With Women Project aims to support local partners in the Limbe Health District to reduce the maternal and infant mortality and improve health outcomes.
