About this event:
What? March for Mothers is a sponsored walk to raise money for mothers in the worlds poorest communities; it is an event for the whole family, mums, dads, children, aunties, uncles, and friends and is suitable for all ages!
Why? 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. News of a pregnancy should be a time of joy and celebration, but for women in poor countries it is often a time of fear. The risk of childbirth is usually because women find themselves a long way from the nearest health centre. By taking part in a March for Mothers in your local area you can join Health Poverty Action in raising awareness and funds to help ensure women receive the essential healthcare they deserve. The money raised can help Health Poverty Action improve access to health services, through mobile clinics/ constructed birth waiting homes, whilst training birth attendants in life saving emergency childbirth care.
When? The walk will be taking place on Sunday 29th March at 11.30am.
Where? Greenwich Park Blackheath entrance at 11.30am. The walk takes approximately 60 minutes to celebrate completing the March by playing games, eating cupcakes and offering face painting for the kids!
