About Our Corporate Partnerships
By working together, we can achieve what none of us can accomplish alone. Since 2005, Life for African Mothers has been forging partnerships that save lives across Sub-Saharan Africa.
We’re proud to collaborate with organisations such as the Waterloo Foundation, Rotary affiliates, and corporate partners who share our commitment to preventing maternal deaths. Each partnership is flexible and tailored to your objectives, delivering measurable, life-saving outcomes.
Together, we focus on what works: The Two M’s – Midwives & Medication. This straightforward yet effective approach tackles postpartum haemorrhage, the leading cause of maternal death in the region where the need is greatest.
Why Partner with LFAM?
Make a Direct Impact Where It Matters Most
Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 70% of global maternal deaths—182,000 women lost in 2023 alone. We concentrate our efforts here because this is where the crisis is most acute and where your partnership can save the most lives. Every two minutes, a woman dies from preventable pregnancy-related complications, and together we can change that with transparent impact reports detailing tablets distributed, midwives trained, and lives saved.
Address the Leading Cause of Maternal Death
Severe bleeding after childbirth (postpartum haemorrhage) is the most common cause of maternal death, yet it’s preventable. We provide WHO-recommended Misoprostol, which is effective in low-resource settings where blood banks and Oxytocin are unavailable. Your investment delivers maximum impact where healthcare infrastructure is limited but the need is urgent.
Align with Your CSR and ESG Objectives
Demonstrate a meaningful commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 5 through authentic, measurable outcomes in global health equity and women’s empowerment. Your partnership supports tangible change in one of the world’s most pressing health challenges.
Amplify Your Partnership Story
We’ll showcase your commitment across our social media channels (6,000+ followers), newsletters (1,000+ subscribers), and website. Through co-branded materials, case studies, and recognition, we help you share the story of lives saved and communities strengthened.
Connect Your Team to Purpose
Give your employees the opportunity to engage in something truly meaningful. From volunteering and fundraising initiatives to awareness campaigns, we help you foster a culture where your team knows their work contributes to saving mothers’ lives.
