The problem
0deaths

per 100,000 live births — Pakistan's maternal mortality ratio.

Source: Pakistan Maternal Mortality Survey — figures pending final ELF verification

Most maternal deaths are preventable with a skilled attendant present. In remote districts, there often isn't one.

Our response.

ELF trains and equips community midwives so safe delivery does not depend on reaching a distant hospital in time.
