Today is the World Health Day celebration and Mother's Heart joins the call and action for eliminating global health inequalities. With this year's theme, "Building a fairer, healthier world.", we hope that we all find and consider practical ways we can help every one in our communities to have access to good health.
Here are some little ways that we think we all can do to ensure good health and well being in the community, especially during this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic:
Wear a mask. Stay home. Stay safe.
Share accurate information about the COVID-19 vaccine, where you can register and schedule appointments in your area, and why your family, friends, and neighbours should get it.
Support local organisations and and charity groups, like Mother's Heart, that provide access to health care and services to vulnerable people, especially during this time of pandemic. Many local organisations have been impacted by the pandemic and have affected their ability to continue their work.
Mother's Heart is currently in partnership with One Day's Wages to provide quality maternal and infant health care, amongst many others, to vulnerable women in crisis pregnancies in Cambodia. Up to June 18th, we are hoping to raise at least $15,000 for our Crisis Pregnancy Support Program in Battambang province which will be matched dollar for dollar by One Day's Wages. Imagine how many women can we support together? Can we count on you? Find out how our Crisis Pregnancy Support Program is different from other programs and how you can help us transform vulnerability into independence and stability, one healthy mother at a time. Head over to Mother's Heart and One Day's Wages campaign page.
Should you have questions or any other concerns about our program and sending donations, please leave us a comment or send us an email to communications@mothersheartcambodia.org.
Today, we celebrate the birthday of Mother's Heart founder and superstar mum, Katrina Gliddon!
Mother's Heart Organization is proud to continue your vision into our 11th year of supporting women in crisis pregnancy. On behalf of the women and children impacted through the Crisis Pregnancy Support Program, we wish you a wonderful birthday!
As we start the year for a more positive outlook of what 2021 can bring, we also closed chapter to one of the most difficult years in living memory. While there is still much work to do to help our beneficiaries heal and recover from the events of 2020, we want to take a moment to celebrate our partnership with GlobalGiving.
Every year, GlobalGiving recognizes the work of its partners and gives awards and badges. For 2021, we are happy to announce that we have been given four badges for our work! Mother's Heart has also been recognized as a vetted, top-ranked organization, and effective organization by GlobalGiving for being actively engaged in the community and a trusted change-maker in the world. In addition, we have been awarded the site visit verified organization. This year, our goal is to add the GlobalGiving's Staff Favourite award in our collection so we are all going to put in extra effort to achieve this goal.
Thank you for your generosity and support to Mother's Heart! We could have not done our work without all of you!
