Proceeds benefit NextAid’s newest initiative:

Girls are the greatest investment we can make in our future and pregnancy is the largest killer of girls ages 15-19 in the developing world. NextAid, with Architecture for Humanity, is contributing to the worldwide movement to improve maternal health by working closely with select African First Ladies to design and build two Women and Girls’ Health Resource Centers in Sierra Leone and Namibia. The pilot centers will serve as model demonstrations for additional centers in other parts of Africa. http://www.nextaid.org/
