What We Do

01

Translate Research

We turn maternal health research into student-friendly summaries and visual explainers that are easy to share.

02

Raise Awareness

We create materials for schools and communities about prenatal care gaps in low-resource settings.

03

Support Student Advocacy

We help students learn about global maternal health and start conversations in their communities.

Current Focus

MaternaLink grew out of firsthand research exposure to maternal health challenges in African low-resource settings—working with a public health group focused on improving maternal care access. We focus on education and advocacy across the full picture of maternal health: prenatal care, birth outcomes, access to skilled care, and the underlying inequities that put lives at risk.

Our goal is to make information about maternal health gaps accessible to students, communities, and anyone who wants to understand why these challenges persist—and what can be done.

Want to Help?

Students can help by reading resources, sharing infographics, joining awareness campaigns, or reaching out to collaborate.
