In numbers: Plan’s results in maternal, newborn and child health

Did you know that the risk of a woman dying during childbirth in her lifetime here in Canada is 1 in 5,200? In other parts of the world, the risk is much higher. For example, for women living in Africa, the risk is 1 in 40.

At the same time, millions of children are dying before they reach their 5th birthday, mainly due to preventable causes like pneumonia, measles and diarrhea.

That’s why we’re working in 2,753 remote communities across 7 countries – Ghana, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Mali, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Bolivia – to provide life-saving care to moms, babies and children.

Thanks to the generous support of 25,500 Canadian donors and the Canadian government, our work is saving the lives of thousands, and creating a brighter future for generations to come.
