DO MORE TO HELP WOMEN & CHILDREN

Reduce child mortality
Safe childbirth
Save lives

Pregnant mothers and children still die from preventable causes. Every minute, six children die in the developing world because they do not have access to essential medicines. These treatments cost less than a cup of coffee.

For as little as $5, you can help a local Community Health Worker provide vital care to a mom and her baby.

Why your support is essential

Healthcare Matters
Preventable Loss

"Survival" should not be on any mother's birth plan.

Yet, for countless mothers, survival remains their most cherished hope — for themselves and their infants.

800 women

will lose their lives today.

Without access to sufficient healthcare, women die from preventable causes related to childbirth or pregnancy.

2.5 million

newborn deaths occur globally each year.

Tragically, nearly 1 million of those deaths take place in Africa.

5 million

children will die before they turn five.

These deaths predominantly occur in low-income countries. And most heartbreakingly, nearly every one of these deaths is preventable.

Healthcare matters

Pregnant women in Uganda and Togo are essentially on their own.

This may sound shocking.  If you want to deliver in a hospital in Uganda or Togo, you must bring your supplies for the doctor.  Without them, they may turn you away.

Uplift every mom and baby with life-saving care

Every pregnant mom and newborn deserves access to a skilled health worker and essential medicines.

Making a difference

In 2020, a maternal death occurred nearly every two minutes. Skilled health professionals' care before, during, and after childbirth can save the lives of both women and newborns.

Bridging the gap

In low-income countries, only 68% of births are attended by skilled health workers, compared to nearly 99% in wealthier nations. Fixing these issues is essential to improving maternal health everywhere.

Women lead the way

Your support trains local leaders to become Community Healthcare Workers (CHW). These women can earn a living selling over 60 products at affordable prices.
