Every half hour an Afghan women dies during childbirth. This is a number we hope to change through the funding of the midwife training program. Currently 14% of births are assisted by skilled attendants, leading to a high maternal mortality rate. By increasing the number of skilled midwifes this will help ensuring that women no longer have to wait to receive medical attention, and are not met by barriers to health and wellness simply because they are women.
