Organization information
We are One Heart Worldwide (OHW), a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization whose mission is to end preventable deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth worldwide. We have 20 years of experience implementing maternal and neonatal health programs in Tibet and Nepal, and aim to expand to new countries in the coming years. Essential to our model is the integration of local resources, collaboration with local communities and providers, and respect for cultural norms and practices.
Our theory of change is based on direct partnership with local authorities and communities to create a continuum of care that will increase access to safe delivery options and encourage the adoption of healthy, culturally appropriate behaviors. Simply put, we believe all women and newborns should receive the quality healthcare services they deserve during pregnancy and childbirth, anytime and anyplace.
