History

 

SMACI Inspiration from the symbol of .A LIFE OF SERVICE

Save Mothers and Children Initiative (SMACI) was established in April 2006 as a SMAC By its founder the district head of Nahuche (Kekun Nahuche) Alh Mani B. Nahuce who discovered early in his reign that people were not interested in immunization. His curiosity and the enlightenment he got from various health personnel, encouraged him to get interested in immunisation activities. That earned him the title of “polio Eradication District Head” from some of his colleagues, a title which has come to symbolise A Life of Service.
