@cturlington : We end our trip in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. This is one of the great wonders of the world and a destination for most who have the opportunity to visit this wondrous country but it also has a special meaning and connection to @everymomcounts. The Taj Mahal (Crown of the Palace) is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658) to house the tomb of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. Mumtaz died in childbirth with her 14th child. This would not be so surprising in the 1600’s. But today, more than 300,000 women and girls die globally bringing life into the world. Every Mother Counts is dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. We invest in community-led programs working to improve equitable access to quality and respectful maternity care in India, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Guatemala, Haiti and the United States. Thank you to our partners @nazdeek1 in India who have shared their work with our supporters and friends.
