​MANAH Project 2026

​The MANAH (Maternal, Antenatal, Nutrition, and Adolescent Health) Outreach Project was initiated to address the barriers faced by rural adolescent girls and women in Lupane in accessing comprehensive maternal and health services. According to the WHO Trends in Maternal Mortality 2000–2020 report, approximately 800 women died daily in 2020 from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Similarly, the United Nations Population Fund Zimbabwe highlights that complications during pregnancy and childbirth remain leading causes of death and disability among women of reproductive age.​​​
