Mali Health improves maternal and child health by supporting women, communities, and the community health system to develop local solutions that ensure every mother and child has access to quality primary care.
We aim to end preventable maternal and child mortality by helping communities build participatory, community-led, and equitable health systems that meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of their community.

When we help communities manage their resources to improve the quality and availability of maternal and child healthcare in their health centers, and the way that families access it, the results are astounding.

Here are four ways that we support community-centered health systems:
