Many communities in Mauritania do not have health facilities nearby. When a health worker is desperately needed—such as during a difficult birth or when a newborn has a high fever—there may not be one. We step into this health care gap by training and equipping community health workers who help prevent deaths from avoidable causes such as diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria among children. Mauritania has one of the lowest literacy and school enrollment rates in sub-Saharan Africa.
