This past year the project reduced child mortality by 37% across 89 communities. Not only that, but Impact Global Health Alliance also doubled our project coverage area and expanded services to reach a total of 90,000 people in 180 communities. During this time, we also managed 3 existing Casas Maternas, open 1 new Casa Materna, and mobilized communities with plans to open 3 additional Casas Maternas by 2018.

Currently in El Alto, Andean Rural Health Care is addressing common social problems such as violence against women and children, unwanted youth pregnancy and malnutrition in children under age 5. In the last year, Impact Global Health Alliance Global provided nutrition education and vitamin supplements through home visits to over 795 families with young children. We also educated over 3,000 people on human, sexual and reproductive rights and promoted deworming campaigns in 10 schools, reaching 1,500 children ages 6-19.

When the Ebola virus struck Liberia Impact Global Health Alliance Global responded with lifesaving health messages to combat the spread of Ebola into new communities. Because of our existing partnerships with communities, Impact Global Health Alliance was able to move quickly and efficiently, reaching 45 high-risk communities that no one else could. Our efforts resulted in more than 12,100 individuals receiving lifesaving messages on the prevention and spread of Ebola. Because of supporters like you, our project communities had zero confirmed cases of Ebola during the outbreak.

Thanks to our generous supporters, Impact Global Health Alliance Global recently started a new partnership in Bo District, Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is known for having the highest child mortality rate in the world. Starting in July 2015, we will begin implementing the project with our partners at the Sierra Leone Annual Conference and Mercy Hospital. This project will strengthen their primary health care department and community health outreach in order to end preventable maternal and child death in the region.

Impact Global Health Alliance Global has partnered with Carolina for Kibera (CFK) and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) since 2012 to prevent the death of women and children living in the Kibera slum. In 2014, we trained 9 CFK staff as Care Group Trainer-of-Trainers. These staff will go on to provide outreach and services to thousands of people in the slum. The effect of our efforts is already starting to take place, this past year alone Community Health Workers reached over 790 households!
