Why run for Child.org
Across the globe, mothers and babies are still dying from completely preventable causes. In Kenya, the maternal mortality rate stands at almost twice the global average (KDHS, 2014). These are not just statistics, they represent real mothers, real babies and real communities facing devastating loss.
But we can change this. Child.org champions community-led solutions to maternal and newborn mortality. We work with local governments to strengthen health systems by improving access to quality healthcare, providing essential maternal education, and working with communities to create an environment which recognises the value of empowering women with knowledge and peer support.
Every day, Child.org works tirelessly because we know that reproductive, maternal and newborn healthcare is a human right. This essential work would not be possible without our extraordinary event participants.
