Every two minutes, a woman dies of completely preventable pregnancy or childbirth complications. Every day, this amounts to 800 needless deaths.

The devastating truth is nearly all of these deaths are preventable.

That’s why UNFPA is working across the globe to make motherhood safer by:

*
Reaching
pregnant
women
with
skilled
prenatal
and
postpartum
care
*
Training,
equipping,
and
deploying
midwives
around
the
world,
so
women
everywhere
have
the
care
they
need
during
childbirth
*
Providing
women
with
access
to
family
planning
counseling

Will you help power this work by making a gift to make motherhood safe? Together, we can avoid these preventable deaths. [[link removed]]

MAKE MOTHERHOOD SAFE [[link removed]]

In remote regions of the Dominican Republic, pregnant women used to have to trek through the mountains to reach the nearest clinic for prenatal care.

At 19, Lucia had experienced this with her first two pregnancies. “To go to the hospital, I would walk out and have to sit down to rest because I got dizzy.”

But now, during her third pregnancy, she has a new way to get the care she needs: motorcycles and ambulances.

UNFPA supplied these ambulances, as well as trained health care workers, equipped 10 primary care centers, increased access to family planning, and provided new mothers like Lucia with food packages and mama kits.

Powered by donations from supporters like you, this work in the Dominican Republic and around the world helped prevent more than 30,000 maternal deaths and safely deliver 1.4 million babies in 2022 alone.

Pregnant women and new mothers are counting on your support today. Will you make a gift to help UNFPA make motherhood safe and reduce preventable maternal deaths? [[link removed]]
