The need for health professionals such as midwifes were high. Sabine contributed with training so that Sauiana could become a midwife to support pregnant women and ensure a safe environment for giving birth.

# Who we are

[NORCAP](https://www.nrc.no/themes?categoryId=176)

NORCAP - global provider of aid expertise and solutions

NORCAP works to improve aid to better protect and empower people affected by crisis and climate change. We do this by providing expertise and solutions to humanitarian, development and peacebuilding partners.

NORCAP works in two complimentary ways to improve aid:

- We provide targeted expertise to strengthen our partners' response.
- We collaborate with partners to develop solutions to un-met gaps and challenges.

NORCAP is a part of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

While we share NRC's focus on humanitarian work, our mandate extends further to also encompass development and peacebuilding efforts.

NORCAP works with local, national and international partners to find solutions that meet the needs of people at risk.
