We’re celebrating ‘International Day of the Midwife’ by asking people to host a cake party in May – the money you raise will sponsor the training and employing of midwives in Africa.
You can host a tea party, cake sale or coffee morning, invite your friends, family and colleagues to join you and ask them to make a small donation. Be creative – last year we had picnics in the park, university bakes and we even had a group of wonderful Muffinistas climb Snowdon and enjoy a cake at the summit!
One in 22 women die in pregnancy and childbirth in developing countries. Having a midwife or skilled birth attendant present at birth is one of the most effective interventions to save lives. It costs, on average, just £80 a month to train a midwife so together, people here can help midwives in Africa to save the lives of mothers and their babies.
When: International Day of the Midwife is on 5th May every year so hosting a party any time in May would be great (or another time of year if that suits you better)!
