Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Nahdia and I am medical student from the UK.

Since beginning medical school I have known I wish to work in women's health or at least support women in any way I know how. So when the opportunity to participate in JourneyMAA arose I knew I had to take part. Especially as a second-generation British-Bangladeshi knowing me or any of my family members could have been one of those women who need MAA's help.

According to the World Health Organisation, women in Bangladesh are 21 times more likely to die from maternal causes compared to the UK.

Maa is a grassroots charity striving to improve the dire situation in resource-poor settings to bring about safe, effective, high quality maternal health care. To facilitate JourneyMaa, Maa has established strong links with local universities, medical professionals and healthcare students with theaim of providing long-term sustainable maternal care in rural areas of Bangladesh.

JourneyMaa offers UK students and young professionals the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh to:

- Provide educational workshops for mothers and local communities on safe delivery and maternal healthcare

- Oversee the essential life-saving work done at Maas Maternal Health Clinics

- Gain first-hand clinical experience of maternal care in urban and rural resource-poorsettings

Money raised will go towards facilitating the Maa health camps that are run as part of JourneyMaa 2025.

You can help us change the lives of countless mothers. Please support our ground-breaking work.
