About 7 weeks ago Recent rape incidents have caused many to open their eyes and stand up for women’s rights. Equal treatment of women, women’s safety, women’s dignity and the right to their own bodies represents these rights. Educating boys and men about these rights that every person is a human being and deserves to be treated with respect is essential.

About 6 weeks ago Childbirth is perhaps the riskiest and most miraculous time in a woman's life. And midwives are truly the unsung heroines of the challenge to reduce the risks women face in bringing forth life.

About 1 week ago Join us in celebrating World Environment Day on Wednesday.

Think before you eat and help save the environment! Details: http://j.mp/lzz21z

While the planet is struggling to sustain its 7 billion people (growing to 9 billion by 2050), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that a third of global food production is either wasted or lost. Food waste is an enormous drain on natural resources and a contributor to negative environmental impacts.
