Pictured is the community garden that Mercy Corps helped the women start in their village this year. It’s the first garden they’ve ever managed, and they hope to extend it next year with a drip irrigation system that Mercy Corps plans to build. They’re growing a wide variety of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage and potatoes, which they use to feed their families and also sell for some additional income.

Philomena is a nurse Midwife, and trained to be a preceptor with Jhpiego in 2002.The hospital records 450 deliveries per month. Challenges include lack of appropriate delivery beds, lack of cubicles to handle women at various stages of labor. Though delivery is free, clients pay for normal deliveries to cover up delays in NHIS reimbursements.

"I have been a trainer for Jhpiego before for many years.
We have 354 beds at the moment and do between 450 – 500 deliveries per month. We do all types of training with student midwives. We need a real delivery bed – a convertible bed that the women can be on for the first stage and then when she reaches the second stage we can move the bed for her to make sure she is comfortable. We would also like some delivery chairs because some women are more comfortable delivering in a chair. We need more training and refresher courses for our preceptors. All of our qualified midwifes in our labor ward are trained as Preceptors – We would like to see our midwives specifically in the labor ward. We have 15 midwives who work in the labor ward and for the whole hospital I have 54 midwives distributed in 5 units. Labor, pre-natal, gynecology and family planning, and ante-natal. We have around 380 women accessing family planning services every month. The numbers are increasing. I am seeing that women are having less babies. We used to have 10, 9 8 births. Now we are only getting this occasionally. These women we introduce postpartum family planning to. We always have a supply of the right drugs including ARV’s and oxytocin. We need more monitors for the labor wards and post natal wards. Our ICU until was only set up in November. There is also Korle Bu and another one. So three regional hospitals have modern ICU’s. Before we had the ICU we had a special baby care unit but it wasn’t well equipped like this new unit. We had a few incubators but if we had very critically ill patients we had to refer to Korle Bu – we would have to call an ambulance for the mothers and the relatives would have to pay for this. And now we are having cases referred to us from all over the region and the district hospitals.
There are many challenges facing women in Ghana. The first challenge is access to facilities. The road network is bad so sometimes instead of them coming to the hospital for skilled delivery they decide to stay in their villages and they have complications. And if they have complications by the time they get to us the case is bad. Sometimes too we have staff attitude which is also a problem. We need to train our staff in customer care and how to relate to patients. We need to train them in respectful maternity care. Respecting the rights of the patients and realizing that as the mother the woman has rights. We have on average three maternal deaths a months and neo-natal about 10 per month. This is because a lot of the mothers are not able to access good ante natal care. But sometimes for a midwife to detect that the mother is at risk is difficult. Even if a midwife refers a mother the mother may take her time in getting to the hospital – she may need to find the money for transport, wait for her mother in law etc. And then the mother will arrive three days after the referral. Sometimes the women just don’t understand the importance of the referral. And sometimes the midwife doesn’t have the confidence to give magnesium sulfate to women as an anti-convulsant to stop eclampsia or it is out of date and the women will go into convulsions and the baby will die. If the mother fits the mother and baby will die. But sometimes the health centers wont’ test urine protein to detect pre-eclampsia as part of the women’s care so they can’t detect it early enough. We have trained so many nurses and midwifes to provide family planning and we are training community health nurses to insert the implants but the problem is the attitude of the women themselves and their misconceptions and people cannot correct these misconceptions for them. They have to work out and decide the size of their own family – we can’t do this for them. “

In March 2020, over 330 students, women champions, government officials, NGO members and community members from around Kampot and Kep gathered in an effort to plant 3,000 mangroves and conserve Cambodia’s coastline. Shoes were abandoned on the sideline as people waded into the mud and shallows – the mission was much more important than worrying about dirty feet.
The local activity took place as part of a larger mangrove planting and marine exhibition under ActionAid Cambodia’s 100,000 Mangroves campaign, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the project ‘Strengthening Climate Information and Early Warning Systems in Cambodia’. The campaign aims to plant 100,000 mangroves in eight community fisheries by May 2020 and raise awareness of the importance of marine ecosystems.
