Maternal and Child Health Team roll out New Programs
and Training for women in Timor-Leste
The last 18 months has been a time of real growth and development for Alola's Maternal and Child Health Team. The MCH team has grown from five to 20 including 8 women who sew maternity packs and three staff in the new office in Baucau. At the height of the crisis up to 40 extra women were employed to make washable sanitary pads and peace bags.
