FEATURED VIDEOS


  1. The United Nations has designated Sierra Leone as the most dangerous place to have a baby. In fact, it has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world at 1,360 deaths per 100,000 live births. On average, most women have at least six babies in Sierra Leone.

    In a previous post I mentioned the Aminata Maternal Foundation that helps pregnant women in Sierra Leone. An Australian organization, it was started by a woman, Aminata Conteh-Biger, who became a sex slave during the Liberian Civil War. Now, she is giving back to expectant mothers after so many years away from her home country.

    This video shows the work of the Aminata Maternal Foundation and how it oftentimes becomes difficult for young pregnant girls to receive permission from family and elders to deliver in a hospital or health center. It also shows the frustration of healthcare workers who try to teach entire villages about the importance of proper maternal healthcare.

    To help more mothers deliver safely in Sierra Leone you can donate monthly or one time at aminatamaternalfoundation.org/donate.

  2. Women in low-and-middle-income countries need clean birth kits in order to stave off deadly infections in themselves and their newborns. This is the case not only during home births with midwives but also in institutionalized settings.

    Zubaida Bai, founder of Ayzh, a social enterprise that creates clean, safe birthing kits for women as well as reproductive, newborn and adolescent kits, discusses how she included women’s voices in the development of clean birthing kits.

    I am convinced that in order for maternal health interventions to work anywhere in the world, women must be consulted first as opposed to NGOs and charities developing products for women without their input. Bai expresses this brilliantly in this recent TED talk.

There is a brand-new child sponsorship model in town and it's putting the power into the hands of children. See how @worldvisionusa is innovating for kids. See latest post. #beautiful #happy #love #instagood
I will never forget this little girl. She didn't go to school, but she fetched water with a smile on her face. The data is correct when they talk about girls and walking to water. If takes up so much time of one's day. #zambia #africa #womenandgirls #love #photography #blackandwhite
The best and worst states to have a baby. See our latest post. #babies #newborns #maternalhealth #women, #health #healthdata #digitalart #artist #beautiful
3 years ago we visited #Nepal with @cocacola to see their women's empowerment and entrepreneur program there, #5by20. @cocacola has committed to helping 5 million women by 2020. According to their sustainability report on their site, they have reached 3.2 million women to date. They are likely to reach their goal next year. We'll keep you updated. #women @cocacola #entreprenurs #Asia #5by20 #socialgood #sustainability #gender #equality
