With local residents, RHCI operates two Maternity Waiting Homes for mothers to receive skilled antenatal and postnatal care.

Children’s Health Program

We provide treatment for malaria & other infections, improved immunization access, malnutrition intervention, and emergency care.

Sustainable Food & Agriculture

We grow nutritious food for the Maternity Waiting Home and provide farming education to women staying at Mbao-mi Mothers’ Home.
