2.9 MILLION NEWBORN BABIES DIE EVERY YEAR
70% of these babies can be saved by simple care around the time of birth and for newborn babies that are small or ill.
Born on the Edge saves and supports babies born on the edge of life, viability and society in the poorest regions of the world through education, research and sustainable support. Currently our work focuses in Uganda, which has one of the highest newborn death rates in the world.
Through the development of local partnerships we aim to improve the survival of the world’s most vulnerable newborn babies by providing training for local doctors, nurses and health workers in newborn care and developing sustainable projects to improve newborn healthcare facilities.
