MOMS works with women, health care workers, and local leaders to reduce maternal and newborn mortality among those with few choices. Because MOMS hopes to reach people with the fewest resources, we choose to work in the poorest parts of the world.
We went to Sierra Leone when we were invited, as it was considered the poorest country on earth with the world’s worst maternal mortality rates. We went to the poorest corner of the country. Centuries of colonialism, exploitation, poverty, and war, and the lack of education, infrastructure, and opportunity combine to effectively eliminate options for millions of women.
