Lucid New York is proud to announce to be supporting a great cause - the Unite 4 Moms Touch Foundation campaign. 

The maternal health statistics in sub-Saharan Africa – and in Tanzania in particular – are shocking. On average, 1 woman and 6 infants die each hour from preventable, birth-related complications in Tanzania.

The connection between the lack of healthcare workers and poor maternal health is clear. Risks of mortality for women and their babies are highest at the time of birth. Maternal deaths decrease dramatically if a woman receives access to prenatal care and if a trained health worker is present while a woman gives birth. Sadly, in Tanzania, fewer than 50 percent of women have access to a doctor, nurse or other skilled medical worker during childbirth. The Touch Foundation is working to address this dire shortage of healthcare workers in Tanzania.

Buy your mom a gift and donate to a great cause. From April 15th- June 30th 30% of the sales of these 2 necklaces goes to the Touch Foundation.
