It's Christmas: celebrate the safe birth of a baby

In low-income countries, drawing parallels with the Christmas story is still too easy. At the time of the Nativity, only the rich sought medical help in childbirth. Today in sub-Saharan Africa roughly 50% of mothers give birth without a midwife. Help us to provide safe childbirth in rural Africa.

This year has been hugely challenging for charities including Maternity Worldwide. Many of our usual fundraising events were cancelled. We were lucky to have be chosen for The Big Give Christmas Appeal which was live for a week up to 8th December and were delighted that we were able to meet our fundraising target and access all the matched funding. We still however need your support to ensure continuity of our projects over the coming 12 months and to help women, their families and communities in Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda. Thank you for all your help!
