More than 343,000 women die during childbirth every year. Sadly, the vast majority of these deaths are preventable.

We are Saving Mothers, a global non-profit dedicated to eradicating preventable maternal deaths and reversing the inequities in maternal healthcare in NYC and areas around the world where the need is greatest. We do this through education, training, and the use of low-cost, high-impact pragmatic solutions designed to empower women and ensure their voices are heard by healthcare professionals.

We are empowering the world’s most marginalized women with programs that are practical, field-tested, effective and replicable. Two of our most impactful solutions to date are the Saving Mothers Safe Birth Kit and mPOWHER Kit.

The Safe Birth Kit costs only $15, and contains tools to facilitate safe births at our global locations that may not have access to running water or sterile surfaces. Sponsoring these kits creates a safer birth environment for women globally to avoid infections contracted during delivery.

At a cost of $150, you can sponsor an mPOWHER Kit, which contains essential items (mPOWHER diaper bag containing a FitBit activity tracker, compression stockings, blood pressure monitor, and informational cards) that will support a mother's healthy pregnancy. By purchasing one of these kits, you can help a women advocate for herself and take charge of her health. This year, gift an mPOWHER Kit and honor your mother by saving another.
