African Mothers Health Initiative

Grassroots organization devoted to helping high risk post-partum mothers and babies in Malawi through supporting home based care and nutrition assistance.

In many countries the experience of pregnancy and childbirth still carries a mortal risk for a woman, and infancy remains a test of survival. We know why women and children die; there is no great science or mystery behind these deaths. The reasons can be described in almost infinite terms but the simplest answer is poverty. African Mothers Health Initiative (AMHI) exists with the core knowledge that the lives of all women and children are precious. They are the center of everything we do. The ultimate goal is not a statistical change but the evolution of an environment in which women are free to experience and appreciate the birth process and motherhood as one of the great joys of human existence.

Through the month of May we are raising money in honor of Mother's Day. Please consider giving a donation to AMHI, to help save a mothers's life in Malawi, as a gift to your mom this Mother's Day.

1. Mothers and children every where deserve dignity, health care, and hope.

2. Small, but steadfast, commitments can create powerful, life-saving changes in children's lives.
