Life For African Mothers

A charity dedicated to reducing maternal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa by providing medications & midwifery training.

The work doesn't end here. It lives on in every midwife we trained, every mother who survived, and every child who still has their mum. 💛
With gratitude and love,

It's with heavy hearts but immense pride that we share this news: Life for African Mothers is closing our doors on 1st March 2026. 💔

For over 20 years, we've worked alongside incredible midwives, mothers, and communities across the globe.

To every single person who donated, volunteered, partnered with us, or simply believed in our mission—thank you. 🙏🏾 You didn't just support a charity; you became part of a movement that saved mothers, protected babies, and transformed communities.

The uniforms change. The mission doesn't: safe childbirth for every African mother.
Will you join us? 🙏🏿 https://t.co/1oRZaTpkQX

Times change. Hearts don't. 💛
Behind every safe delivery—the hands and heart of a midwife.

[Life For African Mothers @Life4AM]

We're rewriting this story—training healthcare workers, delivering life-saving medication, fighting postpartum haemorrhage across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Because a mother's life shouldn't depend on where she gives birth. 🌍

[Life For African Mothers @Life4AM]

Every trained midwife, every dose of life-saving medication, every life saved brings us closer to a world where no mother dies during childbirth.

Here's to new beginnings, stronger partnerships, and more lives transformed. ✨
Happy New Year from all of us at LFAM! 🎊

[Life For African Mothers @Life4AM]

As we welcome 2026, we're filled with hope and gratitude. 💚

This year, let's continue making birth safer for mothers across the world—together.

[Life For African Mothers @Life4AM]

Every mother deserves to survive childbirth. Help us continue training midwife heroes across Sub-Saharan Africa. 🌍

This November, LFAM sent four UK midwives to Sierra Leone on a mission to train 50 local midwives, create Midwife Champions, and distribute life-saving tablets. Nicola, Head of Midwifery at James Paget Hospital, thought her decades of experience had prepared her. She was wrong.

"Midwifery has always been a voice for women's health, justice, and social change—and that voice must continue to grow louder," Nicola reflects.

These delivery instruments mean midwives can practise safely, respond to emergencies, and bring families through childbirth with dignity, hope, and survival.

Help us send more life-saving gifts to those who need them most.

The tiniest hands deserve the biggest chance. 🌸

This little flower weighs almost nothing. Neither do most of the surgical instruments we've just sent to midwives in Sierra Leone.
But together? They're worth £1,100. And countless lives—both mothers and babies.

[Life For African Mothers @Life4AM]

We're helping fill those gaps whenever possible, because even the tiniest things can make the difference between life and loss.
