Every 90 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman dies from complications in childbirth

When a baby is born in Australia, there is a better way to celebrate than sending flowers. For the cost of a bunch of flowers, you can help save the life of another mother in the developing world.

Our website allows you to make a donation to life-saving maternal health programs in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Solomon Islands. New mothers will receive a beautiful card with a message from you. They’ll know that you’ve made a donation in their honour which will help save the life of another mother.

	Christy Turlington-Burns, Founder of Every Mother Counts "Send Hope Not Flowers inspires other people to get involved - to contribute what they have to end these senseless maternal deaths.Together we can make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all moms."
	Elizabeth Broderick, Sex Discrimination Commissioner "Send Hope Not Flowers is such a great initiative. It will help all countries in the region reduce the rate of maternal mortality. For that I am most appreciative."
