Pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of death and disability among women in developing countries.
Every day, 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.
99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries.
Direct Relief is committed to enabling 150,000 safe births in the next five years.
$25 = 1 safe birth
For every $25 donated, Direct Relief can enable one safe delivery.
35% of women in developing countries deliver without assistance from a doctor, nurse, or midwife.
Direct Relief supports obstetric and midwife programs in the highest-need areas of the world, including Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Somaliland, and Southern Sudan.
