Nigeria - Offer a young woman an Opportunity for education: Become a sponsor!

6 young rural women who have demonstrated talent and commitment as trainees in an AMURT assisted health centre in Ebonyi State, Nigeria would like to go to the School of Health Technology. This opportunity will ensure they can fulfil their potential and work to support their communities as qualified health workers at an AMURT assisted health centre. We're looking for sponsors to secure their places at school and assist with their education and living costs.

Nigeria Annual Report for 2017

AMURT Nigeria has released their annual report for 2017 outlining all their amazing work and achievements they have made mainly in the area of maternal and newborn health. The staff works tirelessly to save lives and demonstrate huge commitment to their patients. One of the key achievements is that the maternal mortality ratio in their project area is now 215 deaths in every 100,000 births, which is a huge improvement from the 1000 deaths in every 100,000 when they started working in Ebonyi state in 2010. Read on to get some more highlights and a link to the actual report.
