Queen of Africa is one of those ordinary African girls who come in America tried to have a better life and opportunity and tried to fight for those women who never had a change to come in America or go to school in Africa, basically had a chance for anything in life, and dying every day on childbirth. I think those women deserve a life and safe motherhood.I am wear of this situation in Mali because my mother is midwife and my brother is a doctors and my country is one of those poorest in the world. Mali is a French speaking county in West AfricaEach day 80 newborns die in Mali, every three hours a woman in Mali dies due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth. They found that Mali stands to lose $350 million over the next 12 years because of the productivity the country loses when women die, or are disabled, from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. And in the next 12 years, if nothing is done to improve health care, 34,000 mothers and 340,000 newborns will die.As is true of many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, women in Mali face an unacceptably high risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth. An estimated one in 19 women dies from pregnancy-related causes in Mali (the risk for women in Switzerland is 1 in 6,900) and complications arising from pregnancy and childbirth are responsible for one third of the deaths of Malian women aged 15 to 49.For this situation I am working on to put a foundation that will help my country with anything like drugs, some health facility, or even a good idea, to save lot of people life, and improve their life and their kids. I am willing to travel any where in USA to meet people who want to help my foundation. My foundation is Denko Foundation. Denko = children in Mandingo, my native language.
