A clinic that is only ten kilometers away feels like a hundred when she has no money. Even when she reaches the facility, health services are not free from delivery fees, medicines, immunization. These lived realities push care further out of reach. Preventable deaths continue not because women do not want care, but because poverty forces impossible choices. 

Our Sustainable Livelihoods and economic power program is designed to break these barriers. We equip women with skills, financial literacy, income pathways, Vocational trainings, and market Linkages that enable them to meet their families’ survival needs while securing access to health. With steady income, women gain the power to choose care without sacrificing food, the means to pay for transport to ANC, deliveries, immunizations, and the resources to cover essential costs at health facilities. Livelihoods transform MNH from an unaffordable gamble into a right that women can claim with dignity, for themselves and their children.
