Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health
We train and mobilise village health workers and peer educators to increase health awareness, knowledge and health-seeking behaviour.
Antenatal & Postnatal Care (1000 Days)
ACF provides prenatal and post-natal services to reduce high-risk pregnancies and ensure safe deliveries for both baby and mother. We emphasise monthly checkups, nutritional supplements, and awareness for the healthy growth and development of babies; and track children up to 2 years with complete immunisation and IYCF practices.
Home Based Newborn Care
ACF’s Sakhis provide home based neonatal care in remote areas - providing health interventions to pregnant mothers, assisting in deliveries, overseeing the management of newborns and ensuring follow-up during the critical phase of initial 28 days to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates.
Immunisation
We promote the immunisation of pregnant mothers and children up to 2 years, with every child referred for timely immunisation with the aim of achieving 100% immunisation coverage.
Adolescent Health
We provide adolescent health education in schools and create a cadre of peer educators. We also educate on human anatomy and psychosocial changes during adolescence.
