Objectives

Ammalife is a specialist, research-driven organisation committed to tackling obstacles to good maternal health in some of the poorest parts of the world. We are a small, Birmingham-based organisation that works in partnership with local organisations across the globe to ensure that our work is effective and culturally appropriate. 

Every day 830 women across the world due to pregnancy or childbirth. 99% of the world's maternal deaths occur in low-income countries. Sadly, many of these deaths are preventable and treatable. We believe that no mother should die whilst giving life and so it is our mission to end these needless deaths.

Activities

  1. Practical Research: We undertake and support practical and ground-breaking research to find effective solutions to obstacles to good maternal health in low resource settings.
  2. Change Makers: We invest in Change Makers who have the potential to improve maternal health outcomes in their own communities and work places.
  3. Working in Partnership: We create and sustain partnerships with people and organisations around the globe who share our commitment to tackle maternal mortality worldwide.
