Anike Lawal

Anike

Frustrated by the difficulties faced during pregnancy and health facilities, established Mamalette, an online connection platform that supports pregnant and nursing mothers in Nigeria.

A UNICEF report confirms that every single day, Nigeria loses approximately 2,300 children under the age of five and 145 women due to childbearing complications.

Mamalette serves as the platform that connects and creates support for Nigerian mothers and expectant mothers to discover and gather information that can help to improve their lives.

I will leave you with the words of Mofoluke Ayoola that says, “to become and un-become lies in your hand, your willpower defines how far.”  Well done to all these women doing Nigeria proud.
