Mothers in the developing world are experiencing a sort of “silent tsunami.” Nearly 600,000 mothers are dying every year, that’s about the equivalent of twice the number who lost their lives in the Southeast Asian tragedy.

These deaths of mothers do not occur in the glare of the international media spotlight. These mothers die alone, in terror from hemorrhaging, or agony from unrelieved obstructed labor. It’s an international disgrace.

Zenit interview with Dr. Robert Walley, director of MaterCare International, Monday, September 19. It is rather lengthy but vital information with an important perspective.

Rosalinda:

Thank you for that article. That was a good find.

Keith Greene (A Protestant) used to sing a rather biting version of Matt. 25:31-46. As I read the Article, I could hear the song in my head.

It’s said in Traditional Jewish Mysticism (that’s how I came back) that God judges the world 4 times a year (that’s where we get the “Ember Days” from that were dropped after Vat II).

Does MaterCare have a way to donate money or help in some other way?

I know World Vision International helps many of the same people, but their work isn’t as focused.

Once again, thank you for the article. This is a reminder of what the Culture of Life needs to be about - LIFE!

Blessed are they who preserve the rights of the poor, Michael

Good question. They have more than one way to donate as I learned on their website and for Canadians it is interesting to note they accept donations of Canadian Tire money. Send to:

MaterCare (Canada),
c/o Joe Winchester,
785 Aztec Ave
ORLEANS ON K4A 4Y7.
They also accept cheques, Visa and even air miles and stock shares. More details:
