Miriam Were has made outstanding contributions to public health in the developing world. She brings basic medical services to women and children in East Africa.

Children with healthy mothers are much more likely to survive childhood, attend school and live healthy, productive lives.

Helping others isn't a chore; it is one of the greatest gifts there is.

I don't think we should judge celebrities for doing charity work. Period. Whatever their reasons for doing it, they are shedding light on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.

For my wardrobe, I like to invest in classic pieces and pair them with more trendy new pieces and accessories each season.

The message of our campaign is "Make every mother and child count". This campaign is not just about health. It is also a powerful call for radical progress in women's rights and the rights of their children. Too often, the health of mothers and children does not count. In too many parts of the world, they are forgotten.

I don't listen to people who say my dreams are impossible; I just work to prove them wrong.
