  Copied from UNFPA Malawi,

  Fifty years ago, the United Nations International Conference on Human Rights resolved in the Proclamation of Teheran of 13 May 1968: “Parents have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and the spacing of their children.” Introducing a resolution on family planning that was reflected in the Proclamation, the delegate who coordinated negotiations on the resolution declared that it, “says 'yes' to planning by the family and 'no' to planning for the family." Family planning was, therefore, a human right for couples to exercise, not “population control” to be imposed by the State. World Population Day 2018 -11th July - commemorates this landmark agreement.

  #DidYouKnow Malawi needs at least 120, 000 units of whole blood to adequately meet the national annual demand. Unfortunately, Malawi Blood Transfusion Services manages to collect only about 60, 000 units annually leaving a 50% shortfall. And out of the collected blood, 60% of the blood is used in the Maternity department to save lives of mothers and babies.

  This is why we are supporting No Woman Should Die Giving Birth. #DonateBlood #SaveMothers Dan Kawaye

  It has been exactly two weeks since the team of 6 nurse midwives who walked from Blantyre to Lilongwe via Zomba for Maternal Health Awareness arrived in Lilongwe.

  The team has settled back in their respective homes. Watch the space for the highlights of the big walk! And of course the short documentary shall be released in the next few weeks.

  Thanks to everyone who made this happen. We appreciate the love you showed to the team within the 13 days they walked.
