SayPro partnership with United States Peace Corps Offering Mobile Health Clinics to Address Maternal Health Needs

SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is operating mobile health clinics to reach pregnant women and new mothers in remote or underserved areas. These mobile units offer antenatal checkups, skilled birth assistance, vaccinations, and family planning counseling. SayPro’s clinics bridge the gap in regions where healthcare infrastructure is weak or nonexistent. Peace Corps volunteers assist in providing technical support, logistical planning, and training of midwives and community health workers. SayPro ensures that every service is respectful, inclusive, and tailored to the unique needs of mothers and infants.

SayPro integrates health education into every clinic visit. Women are taught about nutrition, breastfeeding, birth preparedness, and warning signs during pregnancy. SayPro uses printed materials, community radio, and storytelling to reinforce key messages. Peace Corps volunteers help facilitate these educational sessions and assist with translation and community engagement. SayPro also trains local women as birth companions and doulas, ensuring support during labor and postpartum recovery. These efforts reduce preventable maternal and infant deaths while empowering women with knowledge and agency.

To ensure long-term impact, SayPro collects data from each mobile health clinic visit and shares it with local health authorities for follow-up care. The organization also advocates for improved maternal health funding, supply chains, and healthcare infrastructure. Peace Corps volunteers assist in developing monitoring systems and linking clinics to referral hospitals. SayPro partners with local NGOs, religious institutions, and community councils to expand outreach and trust. The goal is to make maternal care consistent, compassionate, and community-centered.

SayPro believes that every mother deserves safe and respectful care, regardless of where she lives. That’s why SayPro is scaling up its mobile health programs and lobbying for national policies that support maternal health equity. SayPro also documents and shares success stories to inspire action and innovation across regions. With the unwavering support of the Peace Corps, SayPro is not only delivering healthcare—it is delivering dignity, security, and the promise of a healthy future for mothers and their children.
