Pregnancy and childbirth should bring every woman joy. But for millions of pregnant women like Selam, the odds of surviving pregnancy and safely delivering their babies are about the same as Russian roulette. Every minute of every day, a woman dies due to pregnancy or childbirth, nearly all in developing countries. And for those who survive, countless more are left with debilitating injuries like obstetric fistula.

EngenderHealth is changing this, by bringing hope to women and families in dozens of countries around the world.
