unite4moms! Campaign Gifts

Global Goods Partners is proud to participate in the Touch Foundation's unite4moms! maternal health campaign from April 15-June 15, 2010. The Touch Foundation is addressing the severe shortage of doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in Africa. These healthcare workers are critical to improving maternal health conditions. In Tanzania, where the Touch Foundation's efforts are focused, on average, 1 woman and 6 infants die each hour from preventable, birth-related complications.

From April 15-June 15, 20% of your purchase of these African handicrafts [include link] will go to the Touch Foundation's efforts to improve maternal health in Tanzania. For more information about the unite4moms! campaign, including its blog on maternal health issues, please visit: www.whocarescampaign.org/mothersday.php. In addition to its online presence, the unite4moms! campaign is partnering with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood to co-host a panel discussion featuring experts on maternal health with a wine and cheese reception in NYC in early June. Details forthcoming!
