Launch of LifeSpring Foundation

In exciting news, we are launching LifeSpring Foundation today! Through its Sponsoring Births Initiative, LS Foundation allows donors to sponsor the delivery of women below the poverty line. Living in households earning less than $2 per day, these women have had previous deliveries at home or in an under-resourced government hospital.

When we've spoken to these women in their homes, we hear the same dreams that resonate around the world: They want a better life for their children. Many of the pregnant women did not go to school past the age of 14; therefore, education for their child is a top goal for them.

As Bilkis, who is 6 months pregnant in Vanasthalipuram says: "My dream is to give my children a healthy life and a good education."

Sri Laxmi, who is 4 months pregnant in Moula Ali says: "My first daughter was born in my mother's house. I want this baby to be born in a hospital."

Through its Sponsoring Births Program, LifeSpring Foundation is altering the way women such as Bilkis and Sri Laxmi experience a basic human right: to have a safe, healthy, and dignified childbirth.

Join us.

US donors can sponsor deliveries through our partnership with Global Giving (www.globalgiving.org) on its LifeSpring Foundation page.

Indian donors will soon be able to choose individual women to sponsor through our website at: www.sponsorbirths.org.

LifeSpring's Chairman, Mr. M. Ayyappan, will be inaugurating the Foundation this morning, at the auspicious time of 11:30am in HLL Lifecare's corporate office in Noida.
