Mothers and Babies

Health inequality around the world, leads to 810 Women dying every day from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. That’s nearly 1 woman every 2 minutes. Further to that, 5.4 million children under the age of five die each year and the risk of infantile death, is eight times higher in Africa, than it is in Europe.

Across areas of extreme poverty and within refugee camps, the health of thousands of pregnant women, new mothers and babies are at risk. With over half of the world’s population living without access to essential healthcare services, expectant mothers and children are facing the most dangerous of conditions.

At Global One, we are committed to giving pregnant women and new-born babies a better chance of survival. Our vital Mother and Baby Box4Life, is a survival kit for mothers and babies living under these poor conditions and provides essentials necessary for the first 6-month period after childbirth. We acquire and refurbish baby incubators in developing countries, which help maintain ideal environmental conditions, suitable for a premature or ill baby. We also provide primary maternal health support, which helps women by improving healthcare facilities, establishing delivery rooms and training medical staff.

Almost all global maternal deaths are preventable, by ensuring women have access to quality, respectful, and equitable maternity care. Too few women have the access they need. You can help make the change, by helping us protect mothers and babies in the developing world from as little as providing a Box4Life for just £99.
