"We must free children from the nightmare of poverty and abuse and deprivation…we must protect parents from the horrifying dilemma of choosing who will live…” Nelson Mandela

Women and children of Africa will like to join the world in mourning the loss of Nelson “Madiba” Mandela, a man who championed policies supporting women and children geared towards enhancing access to education, health care, clean water, and more. In retirement, his Nelson Mandela Foundation, fought to combat HIV/AIDS, promote rural development and school construction, and eradicate poverty.

The Campaign on Accelerated Reduction on Maternal Mortality in Africa (CARMMA) believes that there is no better way to honour Mandela's legacy than by continuing the fight to make childhood and maternal deaths from preventable diseases and malnutrition history. With a deep sense of commitment to improving the welfare of women and children, we can win this battle that will be a fitting tribute to this great man.
