Less than a century ago, families everywhere lived in fear of a mosquito bite. Now 75% of all malaria cases occur in just 15 countries. The partners fighting this disease won’t rest until we’ve reached every case of malaria, while saving as many lives as possible along the way.
May the young women of every nation become bold, brave leaders like Alaa Salah. You deserve the opportunity to share your voices and lead revolutions. We stand with you as you work toward democracy and peace, and build a better future for your nations. #womeninspiringwomen
Happy World Health Worker Week! Join us this week as we celebrate the role that health workers play in improving the health of mothers and children around the world. All health workers are instrumental to improving access to quality healthcare, which saves lives.
What do we need to achieve #HealthForAll? A strong health workforce with community health workers, nurses, midwives, doctors, pharmacists, surgeons, and more working together to deliver care. #WHWWeek#HealthWorkersCount
In 2015, 53 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lived in peri-urban and settlement communities with little access to infrastructure or services. In Mali and across the continent, urbanization will continue, and this challenge will persist.
Housing with improved water and #sanitation, sufficient living area & durable construction has doubled in sub-Saharan Africa 2000 to 2015, according to new research by @LSHTM in @Nature. But nearly 50% of urban population still lives in slum conditions. https://t.co/NX8MMnubLl

Happy International Women's Day - let's take a moment to celebrate how amazing women are... but also use today as a reminder to keep working hard for equality. So much work to do to. #IWD2019
We're learning about the gap in technology use between men and women in Mali - as well as the social norms that surround the #digitalgenderdivide. When we do, we'll know how to help the poorest women access more information and services to improve her health and wellbeing.
Our #WomenConnect project has officially launched! We're working with 400 women and a great Malian enterprise, Lenali, to see if cell phones can help improve women's access to healthcare and opportunity in #periurban Bamako.

This #GivingTuesday, Mali Health wants to give our thanks to you for all you do to support mothers and children in Mali. We appreciate you so much. Your generosity keeps us going.
We, and our partner #Lenali, are very excited to be a part of the WomenConnect Challenge! Our goal is to determine if women in #Mali want to use #digital tools to access services - and what impact it may have on their health. So much to learn from women and this partnership!

We see a future where every community in Mali can protect the health of women & children. We see the end of preventable deaths. We see every mother and child living a long and healthy life. Help us make it happen. Give today and your gift will be doubled! https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
Involving community members in every step of our work has been critical to improving maternal & child health. Now, we want community members to be not just involved, but in the lead. Help us support them - all gifts this month will be doubled! https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
If we want health improvements to last, we must find a way to sustain them with local leadership & resources. It's radical to imagine: a locally-managed health system that ensures access to high-quality healthcare for all. But we know it is possible. https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
Whether it's a group of women gathering to change the way healthcare is financed or a community association organizing to manage their health center, communities can transform maternal & child health. Will you help us support them? https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
Child mortality in Mali remains high - 1 in 9 children will not reach age 5. All children deserve a chance to grow up and our CHWs make that possible. Can you help support their work so they can care for more children? https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
We believe the key to improving community health systems is to see from a mother’s perspective and to make her journey easier. We want to help more communities and health systems understand the needs of mothers and see through their eyes. Can you help? https://t.co/CeOnjLkBji
