Maternity Worldwide
Maternity Worldwide works in developing countries to help women and
girls access the high quality maternal health care they need to be able to
give birth safely.
Having a baby should be a time of great joy and hope. But every year across
the world 287,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth. That’s one
mother dying every 2 minutes, 800 each day. These women do not need
to suffer and die; most lives could be saved relatively easily and cheaply.
Many mothers die as a result of conditions which would be treated
routinely in other parts of the world, for example complications from high
blood pressure and haemorrhages at delivery.
At Maternity Worldwide we know that there are many different reasons why
women and girls don’t receive the maternal health care they need. We
work alongside local communities and partners to address each of these
and enable women and girls in some of the poorest rural areas of the
world to give birth safely.
Charity Water
Charity Water, helps people in developing
countries and continents such as South Africa
and South America to access fresh water
anytime. Nobody can live without water,
especially in very hot countries like South
Africa! The good side is: it is not that
expensive. 1 person to have access to free
water for an extremely long time costs only 20
dollars!
