Tonight in Kampala
Christy and Erin hit the road (or, should we say “air?”) this weekend, traveling to Uganda to visit friends and colleagues who are working on reducing maternal mortality and to check in on the recipients of our grant to provide transportation vouchers for pregnant women. They’ll be sending blogs to keep us posted on what they’re doing, how your donations are being spent and what else needs to be done. Here’s Erin’s post from her first evening in Kampala where she reconnected with old friends from the White Ribbon Alliance.

It's that time of year again! Hope Phones and EveryMotherCounts are joining forces to challenge your family to gather old cell phones from your neighbors while trick-or-treating this.

Saving Mothers, Giving Life Fact Sheet
Saving Mothers, Giving Life was launched with the goal of supporting countries where women are dying at alarming rates during pregnancy and childbirth to aggressively reduce maternal mortality.

A few people came up with unique ways to participate and added their personal touch to make a difference. We’d like to highlight their originality and hope it might inspire others.

Every Partner Counts: DOOCE
I read an article about “Mommy Bloggers” in the New York Times in early 2011 which centered around one in particular: Heather Armstrong. I read that she lived in Salt Lake City and I happened to be heading there to screen “No Woman, No Cry” in the coming weeks so I reached out to her via Twitter and invited her to the screening and she responded that she’d love to. This was the start of a beautiful friendship…

Every Partner Counts: Theodora & Callum
One of the founders of Theodora & Callum has been a friend for years. Desiree Gruber offered to donate the sales of one of their designs to support maternal health through Every Mother Counts.

With shades of bright orange and fuchsia, the scarf captures the spirit of Eastern elegance.

Every PARTNER Counts
At Every Mother Counts we value partnership immensely. We know it takes more than our village to achieve our goals and without the support of so many we wouldn't be able to make a lasting impact. So we welcome the voices and talents of all partners who challenge and inspire us with their own commitment to improving maternal health and reducing preventable maternal deaths globally through their support of Every Mother Counts. This month, we will be highlighting our partners because we think that Every Partner Counts. We want to honor their commitment by sharing their stories with you because we know they'll inspire you as well.
