SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is training local health workers on maternal health best practices to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. SayPro provides evidence-based training on prenatal care, safe childbirth techniques, postpartum monitoring, and emergency referrals. Peace Corps volunteers assist in translating complex medical knowledge into practical, community-level applications. SayPro focuses on equipping midwives, birth attendants, and nurses with culturally appropriate tools and practices. By localizing this training, SayPro ensures that maternal care is safe, respectful, and consistent, particularly in rural areas where access to hospitals is limited.
SayPro incorporates simulation-based learning and mentorship programs to reinforce skills and confidence among local providers. In collaboration with the Peace Corps, SayPro organizes workshops and peer learning groups that allow health workers to share experiences and improve practices. SayPro uses real-life case scenarios, emergency drills, and mobile apps to enhance learning. These methods ensure long-term knowledge retention and behavior change. SayPro believes that empowered health workers are the cornerstone of safe motherhood. By investing in them, SayPro ensures every mother receives competent and compassionate care.
SayPro also integrates family planning, nutrition, and mental health modules into its maternal health training. Peace Corps volunteers support SayPro in creating learning materials and outreach strategies that reflect local customs and languages. SayPro promotes the idea that maternal care extends beyond childbirth—it includes education, empowerment, and emotional well-being. This holistic model enables local health workers to care for women before, during, and after pregnancy. SayPro believes that when women are healthy, communities thrive.
SayPro evaluates training success through maternal health indicators, participant feedback, and ongoing supervision visits. The partnership with the Peace Corps ensures consistency and sustainability by embedding practices within local health systems. SayPro is dedicated to reducing preventable maternal deaths by putting knowledge and tools in the hands of those closest to the community. SayPro champions a future where no woman dies giving life, and where every birth is safe and supported.
