Job Summary

The MotherCare project specifically addresses the needs of pregnant women and new mothers, as they are at the frontline of vulnerabilities posed by elevated temperatures in Basra and Ninewa.

Displacement also exacerbates these vulnerabilities, increasing the risks faced by already marginalized communities. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, this project adopts a health-focused approach, prioritizing the delivery of essential healthcare, support, and community resilience-building initiatives.
