No Woman Should Die Giving Life. Help Us Make That a Reality.
#MOMentumNigeria!
Why #MOMentum? Because Every Mother Deserves a Safe Start.
Mothers give life. We should give them the tools to live. It's that simple. Together, we're tackling the leading causes of maternal mortality in Nigeria—anemia, hypertension, sepsis, preeclampsia, and postpartum hemorrhage—and changing the future of maternity care. From sterile supplies to life-saving education, we’re ensuring mothers get the care they deserve.
