Maternity Worldwide

Maternity Worldwide saves lives by training local midwives and doctors to provide skilled care for mothers to give birth safely

Every day 800 women die during childbirth or pregnancy-related complications. Maternity Worldwide works in countries where the risk is highest, and with women who are in greatest need. We save lives by: training local midwives and doctors to provide skilled care for mothers to give birth safely; providing community education so people know how to identify risks and when to seek professional assistance; supporting women to set up small businesses so they can pay for travel to a health centre to give birth; improving access to healthcare through the use of motorbike ambulances and clinics in rural areas.

It costs just £15 to sponsor a safe birth, £1 to provide vital antibiotics to prevent infection after giving birth, and £80 to pay for a month of midwifery training.
