Donate to Mother's Day 2007 campaign
Mother's Day is very much a day for giving. Yet, too many mothers are suffering and dying each year. Every minute, a mother dies from complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Healthy mothers and children are the real wealth of societies. This Mother's Day, we ask that you celebrate motherhood in your country. Without healthy mothers, we cannot have healthy families and communities.
So support us to Make Your Mother's Day, Every Day.
