Every year more than 300,000 women die from pregnancy and childbirth related complications
— mostly from preventable conditions. They die alone at home because they have no access to trained health workers. Nearly all of these women live in low to middle income countries.
My Sister’s Baby, in collaboration with the Barbara May Foundation, is committed to change that. Will you help?
Just $200 can save the lives of a mother and her child.
Your donation today will provide women in Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uganda access to:
A safe place to birth
Caesarean sections
Trained attendants
Pain relief & drugs to treat complications
About us
My Sister's Baby is a collective of Australian doctors, midwives and hospitals dedicated to improving women's health in lower and middle income countries.
We do this by raising awareness and funding for organisations who provide essential healthcare for women on the ground.
Our vision is to see every woman able to access the facilities, skills and care needed to safely deliver their baby, and begin the parenting journey with joy and confidence.
How to be involved
Women helping women
As you prepare for the birth of your child, we invite you to support a woman on the same pregnancy journey as you, but in vastly different circumstances. By donating to one of the My Sister's Baby supported charities, you can make a real and meaningful difference.
