Setting up the Maternity Foundation

The idea of setting up the Maternity Foundation dates back to June 2005, as Sonia Jam was in Peru touring maternity clinics, meeting with pregnant women and doctors. At this time, it was explained to her that the human and material resource shortages were quite impactful, as was the lack of assistance on the social and nutritional fronts, among others. All of these resources are instrumental to women in helping them carry full term, healthy pregnancies.

This instance brought on a decisive turn for Sonia, who then proceeded to set up her foundation, seeing she could no longer help these needy women all by herself. Once again back at home, wheels were set in motion and the Foundation was born. For all studio shoots with Sonia, ten dollars go directly towards the Maternity Foundation. This allows for several hundreds of dollars to be amassed on an annual basis in order to help pregnant women.

You can also help, through your income deductible charity donation or by participating to our event “Nos 0... 100 ans, vers l’avenir!" held on August 9th.
