Million Mums Campaign
I recently heard about the Million Mums campaign. When my first son was born I almost died in Childbrith. I was lucky enough to have had the doctors and the facilities needed to save my life available to me. I know that not every woman has this and still today in Africa and Asia, pregnancy and birth complications are the number 1 cause of death in women because they cannot get the healthcare. Million Mums is aiming to raise 1 million pounds by having 1 Million people sign up. The money will go towards buying much needed basic medical equipment in hospitals in third world countries. The initiative is headed up by Sarah Brown. For more information go to
