Jackline Mwende, a young woman of 27 years from Masii, Machakos County in Kenya had her hands hacked off - not by thieves but by her own husband for failing to conceive, even though he was the one with fertility problems. Merck Foundation aims at empowering infertile women economically and socially across Africa. As the CEO of Merck Foundation and as an African women, I am proud that Merck More than a Mother initiative continues to support Jackline Mwende, a victim of infertility stigma, throughout the rest of her life after having her hands brutally chopped off for failing to bear children after seven years of marriage. Merck Foundation also aims to empower infertile women across the continent through access to information, health and change of mind-set through the 'Merck More Than a Mother' initiative." ~Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation President of Merck Foundation More Than A Mother
