India Development Service (IDS) Save-A-Mother project aims to minimize suffering and death associated with pregnancy and child birth. We have been working in partnership with local NGOs in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Many other regions in the world are in a similar situation, and we hope to bring this special effort to many other countries with the help of contributors just like you.

 Save A Mother on NPR


Every day, over 160 women die in India from pregnancy and complications of child birth. You can help save them...



Save-A-Mother programs educate women about pregnancy, nutrition, immunization, delivery and care of the child. Save-A-Mother has a complementary benefit in saving the child.

We believe that one preventable death is one too many. We urge you to Save-A-Mother and together we can save a million mothers.
