Maureen is 22 years old and lives in the outskirts of the capital city of Malawi, Lilongwe. Maureen became pregnant for the first time in 2010. Upon giving birth, Maureen was bleeding severely and was forced to give birth by cesarian section as a result.

Maureen successfully gave birth to twins, both of whom were very small- less than five pounds. Due to childbirth complications, Maureen was sick after being discharged: she was vomiting and had pains and diarrhea, so she went back to the hospital. Not only was Maureen worried about her own health, but she was also having problems feeding her children due to these conditions.

After Maureen was discharged from the hospital, CU nurses went to visit her. CU nurses advised Maureen on how to feed the children, and told her to regularly visit the hospital for the weeks following her childbirth. Due to the counseling she received from CU nurses, both Maureen and her twins have both improved and are now healthy.
