Last month, the teenage mothers in the Dream Girls program graduated after 6 months of education and skill training, which will allow them to move towards internships that will help them take responsibility to forge a new life for themselves and their babies. This will empower them for a life that is full of possibilities.
Together with our partners, The Aberdeen Women's Center and @freedomfromfistula, the Aminata Maternal Foundation would like to thank you for making this possible!

Sierra Leone has a critical shortage of obstetricians. Populated by more than 7.8 million people, the country only has 8 obstetricians. This shortage is a significant cause of high maternal mortality. The Aminata Maternal Foundation is determined to work with the national government and our partners to build midwife capacity.

Our CEO and Founder, Aminata Conteh-Biger, addressed the nation at the National Press Club on 25th May.
Her talk was full of emotion and raw vulnerability as she inspired the audience with her tragic story, and made her brave plea in asking for help to support the Foundation in saving mothers' and babies' lives in Sierra Leone.
To continue to save lives, we now need:
1. Sustainable giving in the form of corporate sponsorship, regular donations and workplace giving
2. Connections and contacts: access to people in networks who believe in our work
3. Diversity budgets and workplace giving in governments, mining companies, pharmaceuticals, doctors, obstetricians, and midwives.
4. Professional pro-bono service offerings
5. Support the Foundation by buying Aminata's book Rising Heart and, engaging Aminata as a keynote speaker

DID YOU KNOW? The lifetime risk of dying while having a baby in Sierra Leone is 1 in 17. That is about 500 times more dangerous than having a baby in Australia where the same figure is 1 in 8,700. The country has been ranked third lowest in terms of the Mothers’ Index, which assesses the well-being of mothers and children.
