BRAC was founded by Dr. Abed Faizel and is one of the most respected and largest NGOs in the world. We met a very pregnant Monica Begun through Yasmine, a BRAC community health worker on our first day filming in the slums in Dhaka in January of 2009 for "No Woman, No Cry."

Back in the spring of 2011 we met Teri Whitcraft, an ABC producer spearheading a series of global health programs, which included a TV special on maternal health that aired last December: “Giving Life, A Risky Proposition.”

In Lesotho, a tiny country surrounded by neighboring South Africa, geographical barriers are just one of many challenges women often face in order to deliver their babies in a clinic, with trained professionals at their side.

Founder of Virayoga, Elena Brower, has been a friend and teacher of Christy’s for many years, providing yoga instruction and support throughout both of Christy's pregnancies. A mother herself, Elena recently participated in our “No Mothers Day” campaign.
