Toto Care Box Africa Trust

Toto Care Box Trust's mission is to Protect, Preserve and Promote the health and well-being of Newborns in their first 28 days of life. The organization works with poor, vulnerable and under-served women through a Unified Approach interlinking health facilities, community health workers and the target women. We are guided by four Core Objectives all aiming at promoting maternal and newborn health; To incentivize women to attend at least four ante-natal care visits. These help in early detection and prevention of pregnancy-related complications such as hypertension and pregnancy diabetes both of which can dramatically affect the fetus. Early detection means regular monitoring and treatment. To incentivize women to deliver in health facilities. Facility deliveries by qualified birth attendants help reduce the chances of childbirth complications which often result in the death of a mother, her newborn or both. To reduce the four major causes of newborn deaths (malaria, neonatal sepsis, pneumonia and diarrheal diseases). This is achieved by providing 18 low-cost, high-impact maternal and newborn essentials for the optimum survival of newborns. To provide up-to-date maternal and neonatal information to women to ensure birth preparedness and effective childbearing. This is done through mass education, maternal and newborn care training as well as childbirth classes by Lamaze certified facilitators.
