HMHC believes in the power of women as global change makers and spring boards to achieving a sustainable economy and key factors to fighting maternal and child mortality. We aim at transforming the lives of women, educate and economically empower them leaving them to successfully and joyfully thrive so they can better raise successful and healthy children.
