Humanitarian work[edit]
Books without Borders[edit]

Mothers Alive[edit]
Lovatt founded Mothers Alive in response to the high maternal mortality rate in Nigeria. Working with Nigerian doctors and midwives, she networked with American suppliers and designers to provide equipment which could save the lives of women in childbirth, addressing the issue of post-partum bleeding which is responsible for many of these deaths.[6]

Safari Sahel is a project promoted by Lovatt to make local traditional wares, such as Tuareg textiles and local leather works, available to a world market using profit for community development projects such as scholarships, libraries and sustainable agriculture.[6]
Children of Borno[edit]
Lovatt founded Children of Borno to help orphaned children and internally displaced people in the Borno region of Nigeria.[7]
