Mom, I'm lucky to have you!
Mother's Day is a special time to say "thank you!" to mothers everywhere, and to remind them how much we cherish their presence. This year, celebrate Mother's Day by sending a free e-card. An original way to show your love and to promote the health of mothers all over the world, while having a special thought for families that have lost their mother.
Even today, too many mothers and future mothers are dying during pregnancy and childbirth because they have no proper medical care. The situation is especially alarming in sub-Saharan Africa, where the maternal mortality rate is a thousand times higher than in rich countries.[1]
In many countries, maternal mortality rates have dropped sharply, thanks to free and universally available healthcare. In Sri Lanka, for example, where a third of the population lives on less than two dollars a day, the maternal mortality rate is one of the lowest in the world.
Health For All would save the lives of 1 400 mothers every day!
Send your free e-card and demand maternal health For All!
