Each one of the books listed below amplifies our respect for the women who wrote them and the stories they tell. Check these out as soon as possible.

We found ourselves amongst women from all sorts of backgrounds- fellow NGO leaders, politicians, entrepreneurs, journalists and even some local high school students.

Announcing the Global Birth Club
Every Mother Counts is rolling out a brand new chapter and since our theme in March is Every Story Counts, we think it’s the perfect time to launch.
