Did You Know That?

In Nigeria, a woman dies every 10.5 minutes from pregnancy-related complications. These are not just statistics: they are mothers, sisters, daughters, friends. Most deaths are preventable. When a nurse knows what to do in the first five minutes, she becomes a guardian of life. Through TORM, we are building a network of skilled responders capable of rewriting the story of maternal health in Nigeria

Imagine This

A pregnant woman is rushed into the hospital, bleeding
heavily and on the verge of shock. The first responder
begins routine checks: vital signs, documentation, calling a doctor, but in obstetric emergencies, every second
matters. Before intervention begins, it’s too late. Another
life lost

What could have made a difference?​

Swift action. Expert knowledge. A well-trained first responder who knows exactly what to do within the first five minutes.
This is the gap the Train One to Reach Many (TORM)
Campaign aims to bridge

The TORM Campaign by Birthsafe Nigeria

is not just a training program; it is a national lifesaving movement. Our mission is to empower 1,000 frontline nurses and midwives in Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Oyo, and the FCT with the emergency obstetric skills they need to save lives and transform maternal care, one birth at a time.


These trained first responders will be empowered to act within the first five minutes of any obstetric emergency, because in those moments, the golden hour can be the difference between life, death, or permanent disability. Every trained nurse is a vessel of hope, capable of saving not one, but thousands of mothers and babies
across their community and state

The Goal Is

To build a highly responsive first line of care by training 1,000 first responder nurses and midwives across five states to collaboratively and confidently identify and manage obstetric emergencies within the first five minutes and subsequently the first hour, ultimately improving pregnancy and fetal outcomes for over 250,000 pregnant women.

Our Mission Is

  1. To save at least one million women and babies every year from traumatic outcomes in pregnancy and childbirth in alignment with Sustainable
    Development Goal 3 (SDG).
  2. To use cutting-edge technology and expert care to drastically improve antenatal outcomes.

Beyond the numbers, our mission is driven by a deep commitment to advancing maternal health and ensuring that no woman faces preventable harm, disability, loss, or death due to inadequate antenatal care or emergency preparedness. With your partnership, we can turn this vision into a shared reality, one where every mother has the chance not just to survive, but to thrive
