Why It Matters

The Missing Link in Maternal Health

More than 90% of maternal and newborn deaths occur in low-resource settings, where heatwaves, indoor smoke, and outdoor air pollution quietly increase risk. Yet, most clinical training ignores these threats. Our program bridges the gap — equipping midwives with practical, context-based skills to anticipate, prevent, and act.

Program Overview

Built for Midwives and Community Health Workers. Grounded in Science.

The “1000 Days of Maternity in Climate Resilience” training is structured around the critical window from conception to a child’s second birthday. Midwives learn to:

  • Identify climate and pollution risks across maternity stages
  • Adapt behaviour, nutrition and practices to protect vulnerable mothers
  • Communicate clearly with families using evidence-informed coaching
  • Track symptoms and intervene early

Courses follow ICM competencies and WHO-recommended maternal protocols.
