Which supermodel founded the nonprofit Every Mother Counts in 2010?

Christy Turlington founded Every Mother Counts in 2010.

Turlington created the organization after directing the 2010 documentary No Woman, No Cry, which examined maternal health and childbirth around the world. Her own experience of complications after giving birth to her daughter, Grace, also shaped her advocacy.

Every Mother Counts works to make pregnancy and childbirth safer by supporting maternal-health programs, education, transportation, and policy advocacy. Its name reflects the organization’s emphasis on the value of every pregnancy and every mother.

Turlington is often identified primarily with 1980s and 1990s fashion, including major work for Calvin Klein and numerous international Vogue covers. The nonprofit is a later part of her public career, so it is sometimes confused with fashion-related charities founded by other models.
