When life begins with dying

In 2000, the UN formulated eight goals to reduce extreme poverty and hunger in the world by 2015 [1].

These include, among others:

  • Improving maternal health care
  • Reduction of child mortality

Since then, the situation in Burkina Faso has improved, but in rural areas the situation still is devastating. In the Ouarégou region, there is not a single hospital far and wide. We want to change that by building a maternity ward.
