Maternal anemia affects millions of women but gets too little attention. Our “Mom’s Blood Health, My Future” campaign creates the awareness that drives women to ask better questions, seek proper care, and advocate for themselves throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Anemia and iron deficiency affect nearly half of all pregnant women worldwide – but these issues remain hidden in plain sight. This short video is the early heartbeat of a bigger story.
