What We DO
We equip mothers, health workers, and family members with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent illness.
Mothers’ Education
We give mothers the knowledge they need to save the lives of their children.
Safe Birth
We provide supplies and expertise to a rural maternity unit so health workers can offer a safe place give birth.
Every cent
When you give to goal4.org, every cent goes to people in need. We have a small
group of private donors who pay our operating costs, so when you give, every cent
goes to the field.

Rabin is the nursing officer in charge Sega Dispensary, the only public (free) health facility in Sega. He manages the facility, coordinates all health services, sees patients, and is responsible for community health. He was recruited to Sega to help develop and grow the Dispensary’s maternity service, including promoting the service to mothers in the community. In his past job, at a similar small, rural dispensary, he did just that – improved the maternity services and influenced a shift in the number of women who give birth at the health facility rather than at home. He is a skilled mentor, manager, and communicator.
