Today, moms are not only remembering the origins of the holiday but using it to work towards the betterment of our communities and the lives of mothers the world over.
In many places motherhood is a dangerous prospect. According to the World Health Organization, 1,000 women die every day because of complications due to pregnancy and birth. Maternal and infant deaths, or debilitating lifelong ailments, often happen because of a lack of basic medical supplies.
Every Mother Counts works to bring an end to these often-preventable deaths all year long. This year they are calling for No Mother's Day, asking moms to be silent to bring attention to the women and girls who have been lost, or to ask their families to donate to help lower maternal mortality rather than buying them gifts.
Bloggers for Birth Kits asks for help assembling simple and inexpensive kits to be sent to Papua New Guinea, where one in seven mothers dies in childbirth.
The Birthing Kit Foundation provides kits the world over. You can make a donation in honor of a mother in your life and they will send a handwritten card telling the recipient how the gift is helping.
At Amnesty International you can send cards to world leaders, including our own, asking them to make reducing maternal mortality a priority.
Please keep in mind the many ways mothers can work together to make the world and the lives of other mothers and their children better.
