We are committed to improving maternal care for Pakistan and Kenya's poorest mothers and their babies. We will achieve this through offering a higher standard of medical care and nutrition for these fragile mothers and babies.

Story

Small change... big difference!  That's what we believe in and that is all I'm asking of you. 

The change in your pocket can go a long way, if you were able to donate a little throughout the month of Ramadan, not only would you be rewarded immensely, but you could help save lives!

Every 2 minutes, a mother dies during childbirth or as a result of complications arising from pregnancy. Severe bleeding and infections after childbirth are the biggest killers, but conditions like high blood pressure and obstructed labour all contribute. That’s 303,000 women dying a year- and the majority of these deaths could have been prevented.

Your small change will then go on to make a big difference to those we are supporting with the Fragile Lives campaign,  especially as all donations are currently being match funded by the UK Government! 

So dig deep and whatever you can donate please do- whether that's £1 or 50p - everything counts! 

Every 8 seconds a baby needlessly dies somewhere around the world. 

Many deaths occur from preventable causes, and leave mothers and entire families devastated. 

In Pakistan alone, 400,000 babies die before their first birthday. This translates to one every single minute. The majority of deaths happen within the first 3 months of life from treatable causes such as infection, a lack of vaccination, or malnutrition. 

Fragile Lives seeks to provide life-saving support to mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya, providing vital medical services, maternal care and nutrition to make sure more women have safe deliveries and mothers and babies don't just survive, but thrive.

Every donation will be DOUBLED by the UK Government! If you donate £50, so does the UK government, making your donation a staggering £100! This means we'll be able to reach even more mothers and babies in Pakistan and Kenya.
