Who we are

Hans Haldimann, journalist, Swiss television:
“During my visit of the healthcare programme in Salvador, I was impressed by the way Enfants du Monde and other organisations have managed to ensure that pregnant women and mothers are less fearful about visiting the clinic and giving birth there. Until now, women only delivered at home as their mothers and grandmothers did before them. This caused a high maternal and infant mortality."

With 130 Swiss francs, you provide healthcare education for pregnant women and mothers in Salvador.
