A world where every baby’s
First Breath is a right, never a risk
Sierra Leone is one of the most dangerous places on Earth to give birth.
Every 2 minutes, a woman dies giving birth. Not because we don’t know how to save her, but because she can’t reach help in time.
In Sierra Leone, 1 in 17 women die during childbirth, while in Australia it is 1 in 8,700.
With 1 in 10 children not surviving to age 5, the need for safe maternal care has never been more urgent.
Currently, 22% of pregnancies in Sierra Leone are teenagers aged between 11 to 17.
Birth should mark a beginning, not an end
At Aminata Maternal Foundation, our mission is to END infant and maternal mortality in Sierra Leone. You can help babies in Sierra Leone take their First Breath.
