We make a special effort to eliminate under-five mortality in Burundi which is among the worst in Sub-Saharan Africa. Apart medical services provided at our medical polyclinics, we recruit, train, equip and pay Community Health Workers who are actively involved in: pregnancy tracking and referral for antenatal care and delivery in health facilities, screening of and referral for danger symptoms in pregnancy or in neonates, home visits, counseling communities on the importance of immunization, good nutrition and hygiene. Community Health Workers also diagnose and ensure emergency treatment of acute respiratory infections, diarrhea and malaria.
