Saving The Children Of Bingerville

Ivory Coast continues to have one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates (614/1,000), high infant mortality (108 deaths per 1,000 live births), and widespread nutritional deterioration. Common diseases among children under 5 include malnutrition, malaria, acute respiratory infections (ARI), dysentery, and anemia.

Bingerville is located in a lagoon region, close to the sea, with a tropical forest area. The climate is very humid. The main productive sectors in the area are agriculture (cassava, yams, oil palms, bananas, etc.) and traditional subsistence fishing.
