Health services for mothers and children in the poorest households of emerging countries are chronically underserved. In addition, pre-natal and post-natal child health services are shockingly inadequate. As followers of Jesus Christ, our purpose is to bridge the gap between poverty and quality care.
Orphans tend to be at particular risk for malnutrition. They have less education, poor access to health services, and live in substandard conditions. These children will grow up in a cycle of poverty and poor health outcomes in these circumstances.
