Our Vision
A world where every pregnancy is safe
Our Mission
Every Pregnancy is a bold, partner-driven initiative dedicated to saving the lives of mothers and babies globally. Despite advancements in maternal health care, nearly 800 women die every day from preventable pregnancy complications. These lives are not just statistics — they are mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends who could have been saved with timely interventions.
No woman should have to die giving life. Yet, the reality is that where a woman lives, how much she earns, or what value her community places on her life, too often determine whether she lives or dies in childbirth. This is a profound failure of justice.
At Every Pregnancy we are changing this. We connect voices from the most affected communities with changemakers worldwide, fostering collaboration and scaling holistic maternal health interventions that are culturally sensitive and scientifically proven. Our coalition spans 40+ faith-inspired organizations that first came together in 2023 and are united in our commitment to makingevery pregnancy safe.
Our History
Every Pregnancy channels the power of previously untapped faith-based communities to strengthen access to high-quality maternal and newborn health care. It began with a bold vision: to unite Muslim philanthropies, advocates, and communities in a shared commitment to mothers and babies' health.
While mothers are central to the Islamic faith and cultural identity, their health and well-being had never been mobilized as a collective cause by the community. Recognizing this gap, Dr. Alaa Murabit conceptualized a pioneering Muslim philanthropic collaborative fund to advance women's and children's health, creating For Mama. This initiative has since evolved into Every Pregnancy, led by Isra Chaker, who continues to expand its reach and impact in maternal and child health.
A Movement of Firsts
Every Pregnancy has been pioneering in maternal health advocacy since its inception in 2023. By uniting diverse voices, bridging gaps, and driving systemic change, we are breaking new ground to ensure every mother and baby receives the care they deserve.
For the first time ever, we have:
By forging new partnerships, shifting norms, and ensuring maternal health is prioritized in faith-based giving, Every Pregnancy is not just supporting mothers—it is reshaping the global maternal health landscape.
