We exist because too many babies in low-income countries die in their first month of life
Our Projects
We currently run courses in Cameroon, Uganda and Liberia: the Neonatal Care Course (NCC) teaches health professionals best practice in the care of the newborn infant in the first 28 days of life, and the Generic Instructor Course (GIC) trains selected candidates in how to teach the Neonatal Care Course. The whole approach is based on a 10 steps to sustainable learning programme which we have devised.
Truly Sustainable Training
Our 10 step route to training self-sufficiency provides a timeline from the first training course delivered in a country to the moment when NICHE International can withdraw its UK instructors, leaving a fully functioning local faculty able to run their own Neonatal Care Course and their own instructor development courses.

All the NICHE International trustees and instructors are volunteers. We have no paid staff, rent or other overheads. All the money we raise is spent on training courses.
