An installation of 150 baby grows is on display at St Martin-in-the-Fields until 18 May.
The display illustrates the stark reality that a woman is 150 times more likely to die in childbirth in Sierra Leone than in the UK.
The installation raises awareness of the shocking maternal death rate as part of Christian Aid Week (12-18 May 2019).
The baby grows have been donated by mums from all walks of life including MPs Luciana Berger, Jo Swinson, Seema Kennedy and Alison Thewliss, BBC broadcasters Emma Barnett and Kate Bottley, ITN newsreader Romilly Weeks and actress Jemma Powell.
Pre-loved baby grows on display as a symbol of solidarity with mums in Sierra Leone – the world's most dangerous place to give birth.
During Christian Aid Week supporters in churches across Britain and Ireland will volunteer their time, coming together to raise much-needed funds to provide much-needed healthcare in poor communities around the world.
Following the installation at St Martin’s the baby grows will be donated to a UK charity working with families in need.
