Thriving babies, healthy families, lives that reach their potential; it all starts with mothers. To celebrate this Mother’s Day, Jhpiego has partnered with USAID’s global Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program MCHIP, John Snow Institute, Women Deliver, PSI, and Mom Bloggers for Social Good for a twitter chat on how providing mothers and their babies with a healthy start to life makes communities stronger, countries more secure, and our world a better place.

On May 11, 12-1:30pm EST, follow the discussion using the hashtag #itstartswithmoms. RSVP for the event on Facebook so we can remind you of the date and time as it nears.
