First Lady, Jeannette Kagame, in her capacity as the Patron for the White Ribbon Alliance—Rwanda chapter, recently attended a meeting in the UK aimed at devising ways of curbing maternal mortality. The meeting was hosted by Sarah Brown, the wife to British Premier, Gordon Brown. The White Ribbon Alliance is an international coalition that advocates for safe motherhood and child health. The main objective of the meeting that was held at 10 Downing Street, was to discuss what maternal mortality campaign activities can be achieved in the run up to the UN General Assembly and the G8 and African Union Summits scheduled to take place later this year.
