People Fixing the World - Saving mums and their unborn babies

Download Saving mums and their unborn babies

Women in a village in Northern Nigeria have come up with an emergency transport scheme that is saving lives.

They decided to act when they saw mums-to-be and their unborn babies dying in childbirth because they couldn’t get to hospital in time.

Their solution also inspired the state government to help thousands of other women.

Produced and presented by Bara’atu Ibrahim
