Still A Mum is an organization that actively seeks to reduce maternal and newborn mortality in Kenya and provide psychosocial support to families dealing with miscarriages, stillbirth and infant loss.  The organization works to improve the care bereaved parents receive as well as create public awareness on child loss and how the society should respond to it.

As part of their work in improving the support systems available to parents in Kenya, Still A Mum has launched the Still A Mum Awards to provide an opportunity to recognize and appreciate both people and organizations that are doing a fantastic job in making a difference in the lives of parents across the country.

As from 18th July 2018, members of the public will be able to nominate individuals and brands who they think deserve to be honoured across 18 categories. Categories to honour organizations include Best Maternity Insurance Cover, Best Diaper Brand and Best Family Friendly Company. Categories to honour individuals include the Inspirational Mom Award, the Paediatrician Hero Award, and the Midwife Hero Award. The nomination period will run until 8th August.

A jury will evaluate the nominations from 9th August to 31st August and shortlist 5 nominees in each category who will then be in the running to win an award. Online voting by the public will open on 3rd September and close on 5th October. The winners will be awarded at a gala event on 13th October.

Nominees can be nominated for more than one category and individuals can nominate themselves. The individuals nominated must be Kenyan citizens while company nominees can be international brands that have products as well as a physical presence in Kenya. You will be able to vote only once in each category.

Visit the awards website to start nominating, as well as get more information on the different categories, the rules, and Frequently Asked Questions.
