Our vision is a world where all women, children and young people can survive and thrive. We do this by bringing communities together in life-saving health groups. Women and Children First works around the world, implementing community health groups in some of the most rural, remote areas. These groups can halve maternal mortality and reduce newborn mortality by a third. We set up health groups with our in-country partners, which are led by the communities themselves.
