Give the gift of HOPE this Christmas.
Give a mother a chance to hold her baby this Christmas.
Just moments after delivering her first baby, a young mom began bleeding uncontrollably and what should have been a joyful time became a race to save her life. The doctor diagnosed uterine atony—a dangerous condition in which the uterus fails to contract after childbirth.
Her specially trained health workers acted without hesitation. They wrapped her in a
Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG*) to stabilize her while in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of one of our Mother Baby Friendly Hospitals (MBFH) for continuous monitoring and treatment.
Within 24 hours, the bleeding was under control.
Because of our donors, the right equipment and skilled care
were available.
This new mother survived to cradle her baby.
This Christmas YOUR dollar can become TWO dollars
with our Board Match during the month of November.
Hemorrhaging and infection is the leading cause of death in East Africa. Each day, Save the Mothers partnered hospitals receive hundreds of women at their most vulnerable. Because of your support, trained healthcare workers have life-saving interventions.
You can help ensure that another mother receives timely referral, emergency treatment, and uninterrupted monitoring to save her life.

Please give today. Together, we can train more workers and upgrade more health care facilities to have the equipment they need to prevent mothers and their babies from dying from preventable causes.
