"Every Mother Counts is a non-profit organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every
mother, everywhere.
They educate the public about maternal health, engage individuals and partners to advocate for the well-being of
mothers, and invest in community-led programs to improve access to essential maternity care. In 2010 when Every Mother Counts was founded, 500,000 women around the word died every year from
complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Today, the number has been reduced to 303,000. Since 2012, Every Mother Counts has provided over $5 million in grants and has directly impacted over 700,000 lives.
EMC is currently investing in 7 countries in programs that improve access to quality and respectful care throughout
pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum: Bangladesh, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States.
They focus their work around top-priority maternal health issues to advocate for policy and system change at local,
national, and international levels, and collaborate with key decision-makers, thought and practice leaders, and
community members to advance maternal health improvements."
