Research and outreach on maternal and child health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and the everyday barriers that keep rural families away from care.
Research and outreach on maternal and child health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and the everyday barriers that keep rural families away from care.
Much of this work is carried by the COBES programme: students running household surveys, supporting clinic days and reporting back to district health directorates.
The research side looks at why services that exist go unused — distance, cost, timing, trust — because a clinic nobody attends is not health coverage.
How it is used in communities

Community health volunteers
Training and supporting the people already trusted locally.
What has changed
Services that get used
Barriers named and, where possible, removed.
Communities in the data
