You can follow her challenging journey, and read more about the risks that most sub-Saharan African women face when they become pregnant, through her online blog. Clearblue will donate $1 for every subscriber to Sophia’s blog so please sign up.

Sophia is an obstetrician in Newcastle and a longstanding supporter of Ammalife. She’s been planning Flight for Every Mother  as her own way to bring practical help to where it’s needed and to raise awareness about the risks facing mothers in Sub Saharan Africa. She’s built links and partnerships during that planning and now she’s setting off in a small plane to work in rural clinics alongside local health workers. and she’s delivering essential supplies and running teaching sessions as well.
