In Bangladesh, maternal mortality is the third leading cause of death. 90% of these deaths are preventable. Maa is an international grassroots charity that aims to improve maternal healthcare in resource-poor settings.

Maa is a student-founded, grassroots charity dedicated to improve the health of mothers in developing countries. We provide medicine, resources and education to these mothers and young women, in hopes of improving care and empowering the next generation. We run health camps in rural areas of Bangladesh. The mothers who attend then go on to receive follow up treatment every two months from resident doctors. With your help we can keep these health camps running more regularly and expand into more areas to help a greater number of mothers!

MaaMonth was started in 2018 as a national fundraising initiative every February to raise money and allow Maa to continue the work we do in Bangladesh. Universities nationwide compete against each other to raise the most money for Maa within one month and to be crowned MaaMonth Champion! In 2020 we raised £37,523 with 29 universities taking part.

The money raised provides crucial funding for Maa to continue running health camps in rural areas of Bangladesh. We are also piloting our new healthcare app, MaaConnect, with our MedTech specialists in India.

Support us by taking part in MaaMonth 2021 and help us to revolutionise maternal healthcare!
