Every woman deserves a clean, safe place to give birth

Every woman deserves a clean, safe place to give birth — and every healthcare worker deserves the basics they need to keep mothers and newborns safe.

But every two seconds, a woman gives birth in a healthcare facility without clean water — putting her and her baby’s life at risk.

Worldwide, more than a million mothers and babies die each year from preventable infections during childbirth.

The solution is simple. Clean water saves lives.
