Why Every Mother Counts?
Kim Graham-Nye, pictured above with Christy Turlington, tells us more about why she and gNappies have become involved with the charity:
“I have always been drawn to the plight of orphans. The idea of growing up without a family brought me to tears. As I got older I volunteered in orphanages around the world and at g we have donated diapers and funds to help where we can, but it never felt like enough and there simply wasn’t a solution. Then I met Christy Turlington Burns in 2011 and she said something that rocked my world:
“One woman dies every two minutes around the world due to complications from pregnancy and childbirth — and 98% of these deaths are preventable.”
Christy’s passion was maternal health — making pregnancy and childbirth safe for all mothers. But what I heard was “we can stop these beautiful babies from becoming orphans.” This was a solution. The idea that mamas were dying unnecessarily around the world touched others at g. Getting involved and giving back are some of our favourite gWords, so we began this partnership with Christy’s Every Mother Counts team.”
