Saving Mothers Fall 2024

Saving Mothers Around The World And At Home

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 New York City and areas around the world. 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.

In addition to our global efforts, there is work to do right here at home. In New York City, Black women are up to 8 times more likely than White women to suffer a pregnancy-related death. To address this appalling disparity, Saving Mothers has recently launched NYC mPOWHER Program, a dual-track educational program that empowers pregnant women of color with the necessary tools and information to challenge and surmount the racism they too often encounter within the healthcare system, while we train their healthcare providers to listen more closely to their concerns so they can identify potential complications early on.
