    Every year, over 500,000 women worldwide die from complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The vast majority of these deaths happen in the developing world. Almost all of them are preventable. The IRC’s reproductive health services and other programs to aid people affected by war and disaster save lives – not only of mothers and babies, but of men, women and children around the globe.

    You can help families wake up to a better world.

    In honor of a special mother in your life, donate a symbolic gift - a safe birthing kit, prenatal care, or a family survival kit - that will aid women and their families everywhere the IRC works.

    Your donation represents your support for IRC's programs worldwide. We'll use your gift where it is most needed to provide lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugee mothers and their families.

    About the IRC: The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst crises and helps people survive and rebuild their lives. For over 75 years, we have offered lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from conflict or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, the IRC leads the way from harm to home.
