Globally, 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low and lower middle-income countries, yet most of these deaths could have been prevented (WHO).
In Malawi, approximately 70% of pregnant women face issues in accessing maternal health services, many women have to walk up to 9 km to reach a clinic (often suffering from birthing complications due to the limited resources and support available during their labour) and in rural areas such as the Balaka District, numerous members of the community are losing their lives due to crocodile attacks whilst attempting to cross the river separating them from the nearest facility.
