The word mother is synonymous with the word life. I once saw a documentary that showed that mothers (and women) have the power to stop wars, and give life. Women are vital for the procreation of future generations. In America, many have the luxury to go to a clean hospital to give birth. However, those in Sierra Leone and other rural areas are not as fortunate.

Sierra Leone has the highest maternal and child mortality rates in the world. These deaths are caused by unsanitary conditions and lack of delivery supplies. Many of these lives can be saved by providing access to clean birthing kits that will promote hygienic births. Studies have shown that women using similar birthing kits were 3.2 times less likely to develop puerperal sepsis (an infection) and newborns birthed with the kits were 13.1 times less likely to develop umbilical cord infections.

In November, one of the co- founder’s as well as a group of doctors from Mount Sinai Medical Center will be going to Sierra Leone as well as Liberia to deliver clean delivering tools to rural areas that lack medical facilities.

Give future generations as well as mothers, a chance at life.

Saving Mothers’ goal is to raise at least $5000 to prevent maternal and neonatal deaths. Donations are also tax deductible and 100% of donations will go directly towards this project.
