Sierra Leone has the world’s highest infant and maternal mortality rates. Currently, 1 in 8 women in Sierra Leone dies of childbirth complications. The Birthing Huts Program addresses the primary causes of infant and maternal mortality through enabling women’s community groups to monitor perinatal health, training Traditional Birth Attendants, and building 21 birthing huts where women and babies receive adequate care and rest in a sanitary and socially familiar environment. The Api Mami/Plum Baby Project is an extension of the Cordaid-sponsored Maternal and Infant Survival Intervention Project.
