Something as simple as a bike can save lives.

By purchasing an IPPF Good Gift Bicycle for a midwife, you can make a tangible difference to the lives of poor, marginalized and vulnerable women in Africa and South Asia.

For £35, you too, can provide a bicycle for a midwife. 

Bicycles are a luxury in parts of Africa and South Asia, but a necessity for primary health care workers to reach rural and isolated villages.

Visiting midwives and community health workers are the only chance of regular healthcare for many.  However, too many midwives lack cycle mobility.

For many women, childbirth is not a safe and life-affirming event.

Without access to medical facilities or trained midwives, it can be dangerous, frightening – even deadly.

Pregnancy related factors are the main cause of death for 15-19 year old girls in developing countries – an unacceptable fact. 

Over the last three years, with the exceptional support of Good Gift patrons, we have been able to help thousands of pregnant women by enabling midwives to reach and provide them with life improving treatment and services.

Good gifts are a way to bring satisfaction to the giver and receiver.

For the ultimate beneficiaries, women and children in the developing world, they bring the reassuring warmth that someone cares and is willing to invest in their future.

Purchase a Good Gifts Bicycle for a Midwife.

Alternatively, if you would like to make a gift directly to IPPF, we would be delighted to receive your support.
