Pregnant women need rest and good nutrition.
Unfortunately women in developing countries often can't
manage this, due to a lack of money, knowledge and
understanding of their local community. The government
of Bangladesh wants to offer these women a helping hand
with the Maternity Allowance, an allowance for pregnant
women and new mothers.
