Empowering Maternal Care Across Africa & the Caribbean
In 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to make a difference in Accra, Ghana, where we delivered essential medical supplies, equipment, and support to maternity units. The impact was profound, empowering healthcare workers, and offering hope to countless mothers and their babies.
Now, we are committed to expanding our reach across more African nations — Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast — and Caribbean countries including Jamaica, St. Lucia, Dominica, and Antigua. Every donation will go toward purchasing equipment, providing care packages, and supporting local healthcare initiatives to ensure mothers and babies receive the care they deserve.
Meet the board
Our Trustees are dedicated leaders and change-makers who guide the Foundation’s strategic vision and ensure we remain true to our mission. They play a vital role in governance, financial stewardship, and community engagement, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Foundation.
