Project Overview
The project in Cambodia was initially through the 2h Project (Hope and Help). In November 2006 Kate Taylor, the 2h project representative met with the Cambodian Minister for Health regarding the training of Cambodian TBA’s in rural and remote areas, along with the distribution of our birthing kits.
In September 07 the Safe Arrivals Training Program was launched by 2h Project with 400 Traditional Birth Attendants being trained and 3000 of our clean birthing kits have been distributed.
Cambodia has a maternal mortality rate of 450:100,000 live births. This is 90 times higher than in Australia.
We currently work with:
The Children’s Sanctuary
Sydney Adventist Hospital Health Care Outreach
