1) Primary Trauma Care and community-based training - managing serious physical trauma to prevent death and disability. Through this project, we will pioneer MAP's training program that aims to maximise the local capacity of Palestinians at the heart of Gaza's community to deal with serious day to day injuries and those caused by military conflict.

2) Ensuring Safe Childbirth - providing expectant mothers in the Gaza Strip with quality safe delivery and natal care. A crucial project given the effects of the 2009 war on Gaza and the ongoing blockade which together have led to a 55% increase in newborn deaths.

In an effort to raise awareness and support for marginalised Palestinian communities outside of the Gaza Strip and West Bank, we will also support a MAP project in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps. MAP's Maternal and child health program runs in refugee camps in the North and South of Lebanon, and is the only community-based program in these camps that provides one-to-one counselling and home visits for expectant mothers. Through this program, we will fund the training of midwives, nurses, and social workers to provide mothers with counselling on natal healthcare and nutrition, and to provide psychosocial support to these mothers and their families in their extremely vulnerable conditions. More information about the projects we are supporting is provided on our website...
