To celebrate Mother's Day on 10 March White Spider Climbing - London & Surrey's newest indoor climbing wall at Tolworth - is supporting AMREF's "Stand up for African Mothers campaign".
For every mum who climbs at White Spider on Mothering Sunday 10th March 2013 we will donate £8 to AMREF and for everyone else who climbs we will donate £3.
AMREF believes in a future where no woman should die giving birth; a future where African women have access to at least basic health care during pregnancy and childbirth. That’s why AMREF launched its first global campaign, Stand Up for African Mothers.
AMREF’s Stand Up for African Mothers campaign aims to train 15,000 African midwives by 2015. A skilled AMREF-trained midwife can care for 500 women. The healthcare that women in the developed world take for granted are all great luxuries in Africa. As a result, women in sub-Saharan Africa face an adult lifetime risk of 1 in 39 of dying from pregnancy or childbirth related causes, compared to a low risk of 1 in 3,800 for developed countries
