Mothers give the gift of life—it's time to return the favour.

Every 2 minutes, a woman dies from pregnancy-related causes. Most can be saved.

Mothers give the gift of life—it's time to return the favour.

This month, dozens of countries around the world celebrate Mother's Day. Honour your mother with a donation to help save mothers' lives. 

An estimated 303,000 women die of maternal causes every year. A majority of them die from severe bleeding, sepsis, eclampsia, obstructed labour or the consequences of unsafe abortion – all causes for which there are highly effective interventions.

Making motherhood safer is a human rights imperative. And we know how: Lives are saved when women have access to prenatal care, skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric care and post-natal care. These essential services can even be provided in humanitarian settings, where women are especially at risk. UNFPA supports the training and deployment of midwives and other health professionals, and equips health systems with the medicines and supplies needed to make childbirth safe, even in disaster zones.

No woman should die while giving life. You can help.

 

$50 provides 10 clean delivery kits, containing simple items that save lives.

$165 pays for 5 women to give birth in clinical settings, under skilled care.

$250 provides emergency medical care to 5 pregnant women in humanitarian settings.
