When community awareness programs brought information and support closer to home, a mother named Ranju in Madhesh Province found the confidence to seek the care she and her baby needed.

When a late-night complication threatened a mother's life at a rural health post, nurse Sapna Shah already knew exactly what to do.

A pilot training in Madhesh Province is preparing health workers to coach and mentor their peers, helping ensure that new maternal and newborn care skills last well beyond the classroom.

A community mobilizer in Mahottari kept showing up at Radha's door, month after month, until something changed.

After severe flooding struck Nepal's Madhesh and Bagmati provinces, One Heart Worldwide worked with local partners to reach pregnant women and new mothers with dignity kits, shelter, and safe spaces to give birth.

"I never give up." For community health volunteer Kiran Kumari Thakur, reaching every pregnant woman in her corner of Mahottari is a daily act of persistence, and it is beginning to shift how families think about safe motherhood.
