MUM's
recipes was launched in 2005 after a one night shift in the Simpson's Maternity
Unit in Edinburgh May 2005, Linda McDonald a parent of a former pupil (Sally McDonald)
heard the stories and saw photographs of one of the worst maternity hospitals
in Malawi. Babies dying daily, lying on a rack in a filthy sluice, and mothers
were dying weekly due to lack of resources. It was shocking in this day and age
and most shocking of all knowing their deaths were avoidable. Therefore Linda
set out to try and help raise money for a better chance for these mothers and
babies. MUMs Recipes is a response to a shocking situation and having an overwhelming
need and determination to help try and alleviate some of the pain and suffering.
There
are 3 recipe books to buy and help support the Malawi underprivilleged mothers.
