Our Campaigns

Storytelling Through Digital Campaigns

Every Mother Counts uses digital campaigns to raise awareness about the state of maternal health and inspire support for our work. While we run campaigns through the calendar year, many campaigns are tied to Mother’s Day, an important moment for mothers and families. Past campaigns have featured the stories of mothers and providers in the United States and around the world, and have driven action, engaging hundreds of thousands of individuals in our mission to advance maternal health around the world.
