A Promise to Mothers Lost comes from and is inspired by those who live in the countries and communities where women are dying - and where men and women from all walks of life are speaking out, organizing and pressing for change. Stories of Mothers Lost is a stunning collection of fabric panels created by men and women to honor the lives of loved ones needlessly lost in 20 countries, from Afghanistan to Uganda and Bangladesh to Burkina Faso, India and Tanzania. Created by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, with support from the United Nations Population Fund, and on display for the first time in October 2007 in London, this traveling exhibition is shining a global spotlight on the changes necessary to ensure every woman's birthright - to live through pregnancy and childbirth, ready to nurture children and contribute to the vitality of her community and nation.
