Maternity Worldwide is an incredible charity which works in low-income countries to help women and girls access the high quality maternal health care they need to be able to give birth safely. Having a baby should be a time of great joy and hope. But every year across the world 287,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth. That’s one mother dying every two minutes, 800 each day. These women do not need to suffer and die. Most lives could be saved relatively easily and cheaply. The direct and measurable causes of deaths in pregnancy and childbirth are mainly: - Severe bleeding (mostly after childbirth) - Infections - High blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia) - Unsafe abortions These account for 80% of deaths. There is still time for you to donate in support of their Big Give 2023 Christmas Appeal. The campaign closes at midday tomorrow (Tuesday, 5th December).
