I will be undertaking a hike for charity, with the aim of raising £700 for the charity MAA.

Every 4 minutes in Bangladesh, a child less than 1 month old dies because their mother didn't have access to proper post-natal and ante-natal care. In Bangladesh currently maternal mortality is the third most common cause of death. The highest rates of maternal mortality occur in Bangladesh's rural regions, particularly where the majority of the population is impoverished.

MaaMonth was started in 2018 as a national initiative every February to raise money and allow Maa to continue the work we do to support mothers. Universities across the UK compete against each other to raise the most money for Maa within one month and to be crowned MaaMonth Champion! In 2021 we raised £21,650 with 28 universities taking part. The money raised provides crucial funding for Maa to continue running our clinics in rural areas of Bangladesh. We are also piloting our new healthcare app, MaaConnect, with our MedTech specialists in India. We have also started expanding our work internationally, beginning with Afghanistan - by helping Afghan mothers through our clinics set up in villages.

£25 can support a mother for a month £250 can support a mother for the whole pregnancy. Donate and share to make a difference to a mother's life
