Protecting Mothers and Babies
Every two minutes, a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth. Behind every statistic is a mother hoping to hold her baby safely, a newborn’s first breath, and a family praying for protection. When care is out of reach, we step in - protecting mothers and newborns at their most critical moment.
Every birth is a beginning and both mother and child deserve the chance to survive and to live with dignity and strength. The Zahra Trust protects mothers and newborns before birth and supports them long after. In 2025 we provided vitamins, hygiene kits, infant milk and sterile C section drapes and expanded midwifery training across our programmes to help more mothers survive pregnancy and more babies take their first breath safely. Our wider work also gives families clean water, nutrition, education and safe shelter. In 2026 we will continue this mission so every family can grow and thrive.
