Refuge Place International is a nonprofit organization committed to reducing high maternal, newborn, and child mortality rates in post-war Liberia. The organization is building a clinic in the Chicken Soup Factory community near Monrovia to address the lack of basic health services for women and children. The document outlines Refuge Place's efforts to construct the clinic through multiple phases of work funded by donations. It discusses the health services the clinic will provide once completed and Refuge Place's plans for local financial sustainability and future partnerships to support maternal and child health in Liberia.

Editor's Notes
- #5: Regional patterns of neonatal death correlate closely to those for maternal death. Most maternal deaths are related to obstetric complications including post-partum haemorrhage, infections, eclampsia and prolonged or obstructed labour and complications of abortion. Most of these direct causes of maternal mortality can be readily addressed if skilled health personnel are on hand and key drugs, equipment and referral facilities are available.
