Double Your Impact for Lifesaving Care

Sierra Leone’s most advanced maternal hospital is open. It’s already saving lives.

The Paul E. Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE) is a landmark facility in Kono District — 120 beds, Sierra Leone’s first neonatal ICU, and surgical care available around the clock. Built with Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Health, it’s staffed by locally trained nurses, midwives, and doctors delivering the kind of care that was simply out of reach here before.

This is proof of what sustained investment looks like — and you can help keep it going. Your matched gift ensures that investment reaches mothers wherever they need it most.

At a time when systems of care are being scaled back around the world, a matched gift is the most powerful way to protect this momentum. Give before June 30 and every dollar you contribute is doubled, up to $25,000.

In Sierra Leone, women face a 1 in 74 lifetime risk of dying in childbirth. 

Birth should never be a gamble — here or anywhere. Your matched gift helps make that a reality.

What Your Matched Gift Helps Fund

Every day at Koidu Government Hospital in Sierra Leone, clinicians work alongside mothers to make childbirth safer for them and their babies. The same is true in Haiti, Rwanda, Lesotho, Malawi, and beyond, where PIH community health workers, maternal waiting homes, and locally trained clinicians deliver patient-centred care that saves lives.
