Description/achievement of initiative

World-renowned photographer Anne Geddes is committed to raising public awareness of issues surrounding the dire need to improve the health and welfare of women and children around the world. In order to accomplish this goal, Anne will lend her voice to support the Every Woman Every Child effort by advocating for action at key events hosted by the United Nations and Every Woman Every Child partners. Anne will also work to engage new audiences at non-Every Woman Every Child events by integrating the goals of Every Woman Every Child into her overall messaging surrounding global maternal health and welfare. In order to inform and facilitate the spread of information, Anne will utilize the multiple platforms at her disposal including social media, interviews and press surrounding upcoming projects. She will also encourage her fans to support specific programs that are at work to improve the welfare of women and children, specifically in the developing world. Ultimately Anne will endeavor to lend her photographic talents to provide a voice to the Every Woman Every Child story. Anne, who has a history of charitable commitment, will work alongside the United Nations to find strategic ways to use this voice to raise awareness and to continue to motivate people around the world to make the health of women and children a top priority.
