How your run helps women
Every 2 minutes a woman dies in pregnancy, childbirth or shortly after birth. The problems are preventable or treatable; diseases such as malaria, or complications in labour such as haemorrhage
Women and Children First empowers the world’s most rural, remote communities to survive and thrive.
Our community health groups bring people together, effectively enabling communities to take action to address their health problems and find the answers.
They come up with life-saving, life-changing ideas: bicycle ambulances, sourcing and distributing mosquito nets, and cleaning water sources.
Community health groups work. They have been shown to almost halve maternal mortality, reduce neonatal mortality by a third and increase uptake in contraception by a quarter.
By raising £400 in sponsorship, you can help 80 more women like Selicia to attend their local health group for a year.
“The atmosphere was electric, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Women and Children First’s support was invaluable throughout and I really appreciated it!”
