Mothers for Mothers: A Journey of Support and Empowerment
Across Ethiopia, Mother-to-Mother support groups are transforming the lives of women, their families, and entire communities. With the support of UNFPA, these groups have become a powerful strategy in reducing maternal and newborn deaths, particularly in pastoralist and agropastoralist settings where access to healthcare is limited. These groups are empowering mothers with critical knowledge on safe pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care. The results are profound: more women accessing life-saving maternal health services, healthier pregnancies, and stronger families. Watch how UNFPA’s support is helping mothers uplift each other—because when mothers are empowered, everyone thrives!
