Touch Foundation's mission is to save lives and relieve human suffering. Touch improves healthcare in Africa by strengthening local health systems.

Pamoja means together in Swahili. Pamoja for Mamas will celebrate one of Touch's 3 major programs, M-Mama: an emergency transport system for women during pregnancy and childbirth and their newborns.

Connecting women to care in 2 minutes in private taxis, M-Mama reduced maternal deaths by >25% in its initial launch and is now being expanded to the Shinyanga region of Tanzania, as well as Lesotho and additional countries in sub-Saharan Africa in the coming years.

Join us at our Pamoja for Mamas reception for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, music by DJ Kris Graham, an auction, and a special performance by Roc Nation artist Young Paris!
