HATCH + EVERY MOTHER COUNTS
Though Every Mother Counts needs no introduction, we think our involvement in it does. Since $5 from the purchase of every HATCH piece is donated to Every Mother Counts, we thought we would let you know where that money is going and share with you how valuable this charity really is. Since its founding in 2010 by Christy Turlington, EMC has worked to provide and improve maternal healthcare for women around the world who otherwise would not have the access they need. In addition to this, EMC has funded motorcycle maintenance for Riders for Health in Kenya, which supplies transportation to those needing medical assistance around the country, joined Save the Children in raising money for midwife training in Afghanistan, and raised money to purchase supplies for emergency obstetric attention in the Democratic Republic of Congo. EMC collects old cell phones and medical supplies that can be refurbished and used in developing countries. Recently, EMC, the U.S. State Department, the Government of Norway, the American College of OB/GYNs, and Merck for Mothers joined forces to create Saving Mothers, Giving Life to drastically reduce maternal mortality in areas of Zambia and Uganda. Every Mother Counts actively seeks out ways to help these women by visiting countries with high maternal death rates and collaborating with local organizations to establish a plan for immediate care and for future mothers.
HATCH is proud to support Every Mother Counts and we thank you for the contribution your purchase has made. Click here to learn more about Every Mother Counts and please consider supporting this worthy organization.
