In southern Zanzibar, mothers need access to safe, skilled care close to home, especially when complications arise and time matters. We are supporting the establishment of a 28-bed maternal hospital facility in Makunduchi, Zanzibar, designed to deliver best-in-class antenatal care and safe delivery services for mothers and newborns.

Pregnancy and childbirth should not carry unnecessary risk, yet in areas where services are limited or far away, delays in reaching skilled care can turn manageable complications into emergencies.
For families in southern Zanzibar, access is not only about having healthcare in the country, it’s about having it near enough, equipped enough, and consistent enough to protect mothers before, during, and after delivery.
A dedicated maternal facility helps close that gap, strengthening care at the point where families need it most.
Makunduchi Hospital represents a long-term commitment to maternal health in Zanzibar, one that protects mothers, strengthens families, and supports healthier communities for generations.
With the support of partners including the Jaffer Family Foundation and Fumba Town Foundation, we are building a future where safe birth is closer, more reliable, and available with dignity to every mother who needs it.
