Life for African Mothers is a Maternal Health charity aiming to make
birth safer in Sub Saharan Africa, by providing medication to treat eclampsia and post partum haemorrhage. Around 180,000 women die every year from eclampsia (seizures). A drug called Magnesium Sulphate will, with 3 -5 doses alleviate this situation. Each dose costs 50p. Less than £5 can save the life of a mother and her baby.

By providing medication to treat the complications of child birth, Life for African Mothers has been able to support hospitals and health centres across Africa and see huge reductions in maternal mortality. They also facilitate midwifery training programmes in several countries to
help train and update qualified midwives to enhance their clinical skills in caring for mother and baby.

Originating in Cardiff, and founded in 2005 by Angela Gorman, they have grown very quickly, gaining support and momentum from The Welsh Assembly, Unison, The Charity Advisory trust and the United Nations. They have been approached by all corners of Africa and now operate in 11 countries.
