“After doing extensive research in maternal and child health, I have realized that there is a serious issue of mortality among mothers and infants, particularly, in developing nations. This can be prevented with education and simple pre- and post-natal care. Save A Mother is a superb organization that works to decrease the number of pregnancy-related mortalities by working directly in the field with mothers. For this reason, I am proud to be part of its team working towards decreasing poor maternal and infant health.”
