UK charity Penny Appeal (2019)
In a funding drive, a British charity said Kenya had one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world, and over one in 20 children died before their fifth birthday.
According to UN estimates, Kenya is one of 21 countries with a very high ratio of maternal deaths.
Different studies estimate the under-five mortality ratio at roughly one in 20, which an expert said was “a fair statement”.
A British charity’s recent appeal for donations said the death rates of mothers and young children in Kenya were very high, giving statistics to support the claim.
