The Footprints Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization based in Florida, is

dedicated to reducing maternal and infant mortality. The foundation’s work is

deeply rooted in the life experiences of its founder, Lorna Owens. A former

registered nurse, midwife, attorney, and legal commentator, Owens has a long

history of helping others. She initiated the Women Behind Bars program,

addressing the disproportionate impact of maternal incarceration on families.

Seeing the burnout rate among professional women, Owens also established

the And the Women Gather Women’s Institute, promoting the need for balance

in successful careers. However, the turning point for the foundation was a CNN

report on the use of rape as a weapon of war in the Democratic Republic of the

Congo. The report revealed the plight of over two million women who, due to

gang rapes, developed fistulas, leading to incontinence.

Deeply moved, Owens founded the Footprints Foundation. The foundation

works to “save women’s lives one little footprint at a time”. The organization is

actively seeking donations to support its cause, with an immediate need for

clean birthing kits and funds to train skilled nurses and traditional birth

attendants. The foundation’s vision extends beyond the borders of the U.S.,

with projects underway in D.R. Congo and Jamaica, aiming to leave a positive

impact globally.
