In a remote Cambodian village where her family had lived for generations, political unrest resulting in genocide forced Chandy, her family and thousands of Cambodians to be relocated to Thai refugee camps hundreds of miles away.
There appeared to be no future, but while living in the camp Chandy was given options she never would have had in her village - to be educated and trained as a midwife.
Twenty years later Chandy travels dangerous, rough and muddy roads leading a midwives’ outreach program. The program gives isolated village women a previously impossible option, which prevents life threatening complications.
Maternal Health Care
Chandy manages the Delivery Life Support Program, which is a project of Trauma Care Foundation and is modeled after a chain of survival network created for land mine victims in north-western Cambodia, where four-thousand villagers living inside the mine field were trained as trauma first helpers to stop bleeding and keep airways open on-site and during evacuations.
