About the Organization
The Antara Foundation (TAF) envisions a world where women and children do not suffer from preventable health conditions. We believe that every mother and every child deserves an equal start to a healthy life. We support the public health system in delivering solutions on a scale to improve maternal and child health outcomes by partnering with the government and communities. Interventions of The Antara Foundation follow two closely integrated paths: to help the government system deliver higher-quality health care to the community and to support the community in mobilizing and seeking better health outcomes.
