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. A Promise to Mothers Lost is amplifying their voices by targeting powerful global institutions and governments, holding world leaders to account during the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC in April, World Economic Forum in South Africa in June, G-8 Summit in Japan in July and UN Call to Action in New York in September.

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 19 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.

A Promise to Mothers Lost is a global partnership of the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, supported in part by a generous grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
