Every woman deserves access to safe, quality maternal healthcare. This fundamental principle drives REST Philanthropy's upcoming Maternity Health Education & Donation event, scheduled for Friday, September 26th, 2025, at 10:00 AM in the Central Region of Ghana at APAM.


Giving Rest to the Restless

Under the powerful theme "Safe Birth is Her Right, Not Her Luck," this initiative addresses a critical truth: maternal health outcomes should never be left to chance. Quality prenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and proper medical support during childbirth are fundamental rights that every expectant mother should have access to, regardless of her economic circumstances or geographic location.

The Reality of Maternal Health in Ghana

Maternal mortality remains a significant challenge across many communities in Ghana. Too often, women face barriers to accessing quality healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth, including:

  • Limited access to skilled healthcare providers

  • Financial constraints preventing proper prenatal care

  • Distance from quality medical facilities

  • Lack of education about maternal health best practices

  • Cultural barriers to seeking medical care
