Who We Are
A mission-driven organization committed to saving mothers and babies—one community at a time.
LiftLife Global Health exists to address one of the most urgent and preventable injustices in global health: maternal and newborn deaths caused by lack of access to skilled care. We believe that where a woman lives should never determine whether she survives childbirth.
