Combatting maternal mortality in Africa 15th听September 2009
Schoolgirls Katie, Isabella, Megan, and Kimi
The Bradford schoolgirls with a winning idea

More than half a million women worldwide die each year because of complications related to pregnancy. This statistic inspired four teenage girls from St Joseph's College in Bradford to develop a 'pack for life' for mothers and their newborn babies in Africa. Their idea won a national business competition and now it has been adopted by the aid agency CAFOD. Jane speaks to two of听the girls who have just returned from Nigeria visiting villages and primary health-care clinics to see the difference their idea will make.
