Lifesaving Maternal Healthcare in Sudan

Alight is fundraising to support mothers and newborns in Sudan who are at the highest risk of death with hospitals destroyed, skilled care out of reach, and maternal mortality among the highest in the world. Alight’s Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CeMONC) centers are lifelines—providing antenatal care, safe deliveries, and emergency caesareans free of charge, so every mother has a chance to cradle a healthy baby.

Turning Crisis Into Care

Alight is raising funds for lifesaving maternal health services so that mothers and infants in Sudan can survive and thrive. Displacement and famine leave them most at risk of death and disability. Alight brings free, high-quality maternal care where it’s needed most, from antenatal visits to newborn resuscitation. Even in war, mothers deserve dignity, safety, and joy at birth.

A Lifeline for Mothers and Babies

With Sudan’s maternal mortality rate among the highest in the world, access to care can mean the difference between loss and life. Alight’s CeMONC centers are more than hospitals—they are places of hope where mothers like Faiza, Basma, and Hassania found safety. Together, we can ensure no woman gives birth alone.

‍

From Fear to Safe Delivery

Too many mothers face childbirth alone, with many Sudanese hospitals destroyed and care inaccessible. Alight’s CeMONC centers provide emergency caesareans, skilled deliveries, and postnatal care to ensure safe outcomes. Every baby born safely is a story of survival and hope.
