Doris Mollel

activist Tanzania

Doris Mollel is a prominent Tanzanian advocate for maternal and child health, known for her unwavering dedication to improving the lives of premature babies. Born at just 27 weeks, she faced significant health challenges from the start, which ignited her passion for change in a society often stigmatizing premature births. In 2015, she founded the Doris Mollel Foundation (DMF), which has become a leading voice in advocating for policy reforms in neonatal care. Under her leadership, DMF has successfully influenced significant legislative changes, including the recent extension of paid maternity and paternity leave for parents of premature infants in Tanzania. Doris's relentless advocacy has saved over 17,000 preterm babies and has fostered a more supportive environment for families facing the challenges of prematurity.
