Idi-araba

A slum community in Kosofe Local Government inhabited by Ilaje, Igbos, Egun, Calabars and Yorubas. This community is particularly more diverse than the other communities where we work in terms of the percentage of dwellers. They are governed by Illajes. We started our interventions here because of the distance in accessing skilled health care, prevalent teenage pregnancies and poverty. We started with free routine antenatal care and gradually working to include other services in collaboration with the Kosofe local government primary health centers.
