Training Assists Mothers to Give Birth Safely
In 2020 and 2021 we were unable to visit because of the pandemic, but for the first time were able to purchase all the essential supplies in Niger so our local staff were able to conduct two trainings on their own.
Local staff–Rabi and matrone Fatima on right continue training new matrones in a nomad’s tent.
The training in Iferouane took place over 7 days in February.
In 2019 we initiated training local staff at Tamesna and took our program to Iferouane.
Our all-female team of trainers and trainees at Tamesna. From the back, Linda Lamb, Azarra, Foulaye, Dinaru, Fatima, Rabi, Amena, Mariama, Rakia, Malou, Aboulkou, Leslie, Pat, Dr. Becky, Atouma, Rahamata, Lame, Aghaichita, Hadija
We now have 48 working traditional birth attendants who have assisted at over 2500 births without a single maternal mortality while under their care.
