One in 17 women in Sierra Leone will die in childbirth. I (a normal person) hear a stat like that and think, "But there's nothing I can do." My brother heard it and was like, "But how can we fix it."

And so, after a year of him stressing and thinking and trying to figure out how to best use the power we have at our hands, John and I (mostly John, but I'll take it) are giving $6.5M over the next five years in an effort to radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone.

That number sounds like nonsense to me. I don't understand how we've gotten so lucky to have the ability to do this. But it's not easy. Nurses and doctors and community healthcare workers deserve to be paid for their work. And the need is great.

So we need more like $25M...which we've knocked on a lot of fancy doors to try and build up...but we need you too. If you can, go to http://PIH.org/hankandjohn and set up your monthly gift.

This isn't a project we ever want to be done with. We're biting off the first five years now, but we want this to be something we're doing 10, 20, 30 years from now. This is about a long term solution.

It's about freeing people from their tragedy and poverty, about enabling them to build their communities and prosperity. But that is such a hard thing to do when you lose your mother. This is the best thing I have ever done, and thanks to John for making me do it.
