It includes a series of challenges. The new challenge is Be the Change: Save a Life. Acumen Fund is partnering with ABC News' to bring attention to fact that giving birth is still a life-threatening (yet fixable) event for many women. 350,000 women die during pregnancy or childbirth each year. 90% of those deaths occur in Africa and Asia. Eight in ten of these 350,000 deaths could be averted with simple (and often low-cost) treatments and quality obstetric care.
Help raise awareness about this issue by creating something that conveys the message that moms around the world deserve more! Quality maternal health is not an option, it's a right.

* The most retweetable tweet of all time
