In this podcast, Outer Voices and our Student Advisory Board hear about what happens when a mother dies in childbirth, to the children and to the community, and examine why the rates of maternal mortality are on the rise in parts of the world.

We travel to Nigeria, where one woman is saved by a rare blood transfusion; to India, where the daughters of a mother who died in childbirth provide deep insight into the way forward; and then finally, we go back to Nigeria, where one woman's determination is creating new hope for children whose mothers have died.
