Family Care International (FCI), an international non-profit organization, paid attention to an issue that many others have neglected - maternal health. Its full complement of qualified healthcare professionals provide for dedicated maternal health services specifically in prenatal and childbirth services, a dedication that has saved and continues to save lives in 18 countries across Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. 

Because the mother is the traditional primary caregiver of children in these countries, the work of FCI in protecting and promoting maternal health also means the protection and promotion of the rights of children and of families. 

The world is taking notice, too. FCI has garnered recognition for its work in collaborative, innovative and effective delivery of maternal health services. It was the recipient of the 2008 United Nations Population Award and the 2013 MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions, among other awards. 

For donors, FCI is one of the best charities to donate your money for a good cause. It was, after all, granted the distinction of being the Top-rated Charity award by the American Institute of Philanthropy.
