Hii, I'm Shama, a neuroscience graduate and current medical student in the UK Alhamdulilah. Maa has been a charity close to my heart since 2018 and I have seen the charity grow and grow every year 💙. Now in 2024, I feel very humbled to be allowed to see the direct impact Maa has in Bangladesh this year inshaAllah. I'll be visiting the healthcamps that Maa runs and various hospitals where I'll have the opportunity to speak/help women, mothers, and soon-to-be mothers, inshaAllah.

Thank you for continuing to support myself and Maa, your efforts do not go unnoticed ♡. If you are new, below is the reason as to why YOU should donate and share this page (or any of the Maa charity pages.)

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 the aim 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-poor settings

Money raised will go towards facilitating the Maa healthcamps that are run as part of JourneyMaa 2024. You can help us change the lives of countless mothers. Please support our ground-breaking work.
