In UK they provide contraception, abortions, promote sexual health etc.
I believe they have a charitable arm which helps Irish girls get to UK for abortions.

What strikes is that 7 women on the lsit are from the USA
One each from CAnada, the United Kingdom and Kenya.
It is save to assume that Wanagri Maathi is not forgotten in Africa as a whole and not in Kenya specifically.

12. Florence Nightingale, (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910), English social reformer and the founder of modern nursing - hopefully not forgotten.
Also she is not forgotten as she has passed into mythology as your post demonstrates.
