Thanks for helping moms and babies worldwide!

I'm happy to announce that today Motherwear is making a contribution through its Help Moms and Babies Worldwide program. 

Today's contribution goes to Save the Children's Save Newborn Lives program.  Millions of babies die in the developing world each year from largely preventable causes.  This program uses existing low-tech, inexpensive measures to keep babies healthy, such as tetanus immunizations for pregnant women, clean delivery, exclusive breastfeeding, and antibiotics for infections. 

Motherwear chose to donate to this program because of the prominent role breastfeeding promotion plays in the effort.  As I've written about earlier, millions of lives could be saved by the promotion and support of exclusive breastfeeding. 

So, thanks to everyone who made their purchases through this program!  You're making a difference in the lives of mothers and babies worldwide.

If you're interested in participating, here's how the program works:  When you shop at Motherwear through this program you save $10 on an order of $50 or more, and Motherwear donates a percentage to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, Habitat for Humanity, and Save the Children.
