Maternal Health
Maternal mortality remains a stark reality in climate-fragile zones. High-risk pregnancies often go untreated due to poor road connectivity, poverty, and broken systems. SSIF’s solution is low-tech, high-impact:
-
10,000+ menstrual hygiene kits distributed with reusable pads, soap, and education leaflets
-
Peer educators trained in local dialects to demystify menstruation
-
Installed pad banks and disposal units in 25 flood shelters
-
Integrated menstrual hygiene into local disaster budgets This work led to a 150% rise in female school attendance in targeted regions.
