Plan Mali: what we do

Plan’s work in Mali covers 4 core areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• Child survival and maternal health
• Education and development
• Child protection and participation
• Livelihood security

Plan Mali works to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health. Providing health clinics for parents and their children, as well as guidance during pregnancies, has helped improve these rates in Mali.

Communities actively participate in promoting the dangers of child and maternal health during pregnancy. Plan also supports children to take an active role in regular radio broadcasts, to raise awareness of health issues in the community.

Plan Burkina Faso: what we do

Plan’s work in Burkina Faso covers 4 core areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• good quality education
• maternal and child health care
• safe drinking water and sanitation
• protecting children against the effects of HIV.

This priority programme aims to improve access to quality formal and non-formal education. A great number of children have been enrolled in schools thanks to an increase in school infrastructure building projects, repairs, furnishings and supplies by Plan.
We also support the capacity building of community and institutional structures in charge of education.

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.

Meet 3 moms benefiting from our work in maternal health

Every year, 358,000 women die during pregnancy and childbirth. That’s over 800 women every day. 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries and the majority of them are preventable. But access to quality health care can save the lives of thousands of mothers and babies every year.

Plan’s work to improve the health of mothers and their babies has impacted thousands of women in hard-to-reach communities across 7 countries – Ghana, Mali, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Bolivia. Projects in maternal and newborn health include:

• Training health care workers
• Improving health care services offered to mothers before and after childbirth
• Helping mothers access health care
• Ensuring mothers and babies have access to nutritious food
• Providing crucial vaccinations, medication and appropriate treatment.
