Say No to a Crappy Mother’s Day!
Another Mother’s Day, another batch of awful Mother’s Day cards! How on earth can we show the mother-figures in our lives how much we appreciate them with these kind of lame offerings? With such patronising inscriptions, these sentiments are bound to fall as flat as the cardboard they’re printed on.
If you’d rather not remind your lovely Mum that women tend to take on the bulk of domestic duties on this, her special day, then why not consider a different approach? In fact, you can use your mother’s day gift to show love to mothers across the globe! For just £15, Maternity Worldwide will send a Safe Birth Certificate to your Mum – promising to help save the lives of women and babies in developing countries.
Every minute of every day, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. Ninety-nine percent of these deaths occur in developing countries, These deaths could be avoided if adequate resources and healthcare were available.
You can purchase a Safe Birth Certificate here, or read more about Maternity Worldwide in this blog post that Julia Kukiewicz wrote for us on behalf of the organisation.
Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

A very interesting article tying together the importance of Mother’s Day and supporting the worthy cause of maternal and infant mortality. I am writing on behalf of Women and Children First, a charity that is also an advocate of maternal health issues. The link to their website can be found below:

All support is greatly appreciated.
