Women in a village in Northern Nigeria have come up with an emergency transport scheme that is saving lives.
They decided to act when they saw mums-to-be and their unborn babies dying in childbirth because they couldn’t get to hospital in time.
Their solution also inspired the state government to help thousands of other women.
