Sweet Mother International (SMI) recognizes the integral role that motherhood plays in the health of the whole community. While becoming a mother is an exciting time, it is also a critical time, when proper medical care, supplies and education can help pregnancy, birth and post-natal care to run smoothly. Too many women die birthing their children, and we believe it is time to implement lifesaving medicine, education, and support for women facing the exciting challenge and change that becoming a mother brings. SMI is working towards the safety and health of mothers, mothers to be, and women in general by educating traditional birth assistants and mothers in safe birth practices, and supplying thousands of birthing kits across rural and remote Africa. We also distribute education materials and we work synergistically with many other organizations who share the same goals.
SMI encourages everyone to love their mothers and honour them. We trust you share our vision and hope you can come and join a growing global network committed to the health and wellbeing of mothers, and women, everywhere. |

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
 John Nze-Bertram President, Sweet Mother International Member, African Union ECOSOCC General Assembly |  “It is the tasks connected with the home that are the fundamental tasks of humanity….If the mother does not make her contribution, there will either be no next generation, or a next generation that is worse than none at all." Theodore Roosevelt 26th President of the United States |  "Study
after study has shown that there is no effective development strategy
in which women do not play a central role. When women are fully
involved, the benefits can be seen immediately: families are healthier
and better fed; their income, savings and reinvestment go up. And what
is true of families is also true of communities and, in the long run, of
whole countries." UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, March 8, 2003 |
