BABIES' AND MOTHERS' LIVES SAVED

In 2023, LifeNet-trained healthcare providers saved 5,045 newborns and mothers by implementing proper infant CPR and postpartum hemorrhage treatments.

Today, 2,164 babies and 407 mothers in Africa will die from preventable causes.

Thousands of mothers, children, and other vulnerable and underserved people in sub-Saharan Africa are dying from preventable diseases and conditions because health workers and health facilities lack the knowledge and tools they need to provide quality care to their patients.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.

WE ARE TRANSFORMING AFRICAN HEALTH FACILITIES

To provide quality, sustainable healthcare and save lives. but we need your support.

Guided by the belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to lead a healthy and whole life, we improve the quality of health systems in sub-Saharan Africa from the ground up.

Guiding Principles

Our Christian faith and commitment to justice, compassion, and elevating the poor motivate our work. All people, made in the image of God, have the right to live healthy and whole lives. So, we equip and empower local health workers to provide high-quality healthcare for their vulnerable communities. Through LifeNet’s work, health workers in hard to reach, last-mile health facilities in Africa are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to serve the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable in medically-sound ways.
