Stand Up for African Mothers

No woman should die giving birth. Yet, more than 200,000 women die each year in sub-Saharan Africa during pregnancy and childbirth. Most of these deaths could easily be prevented if basic medical care was available. Support AMREF’s campaign to improve maternal health in Africa to save women’s lives.
