Maternal deaths in Africa, We need your help now! Maternal deaths are preventable, Most maternal deaths are caused by obstetric complications such haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders and sepsis as well as abortions. Half of all births in Africa occur without the support of a skilled birth attendant. 10-15 million women a year suffer severe or long- lasting illnesses or disabilities caused by complications during pregnancy or childbirth. You can help ICROSS to reduce this and make a difference to thousands of mothers. Every year, more than 1 million children are left motherless and vulnerable because of maternal death. Children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who haven’t. 36% of all the mothers in remote ICROSS rural Maasai projects are undernourished. Over the next year ICROSS intends to make sure all mothers at our clinics are properly nourished but we need your help. It is not charity its a right and we need your help ! Being born into poverty does not mean you should die there... We need your personal support.
