Organizations Filed Purposes:
Global Pediatric Alliance seeks to promote grassroots empowerment and improve child and maternal health by providing educational, technical, and financial support for community-based health projects in Latin America.
Reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths in Latin America through education & support.
Midwife Training Program: In poor regions where access to state health services is limited, indigenous midwives often provide essential maternal & child healthcare. GPA supports these essential practitioners by offering workshops in evidence-based pediatric primary care, prenatal care, birth techniques & management, recognition of risk factors, danger signs, newborn care & a protocol for emergency-care response. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic led to an exponential demand for midwives. GPA delivered more than 2000 midwife kits with personal protective equipment, supplies and information to keep these practitioners and the families they work with safe. We organized a radio and press campaign to bring the plight of these vulnerable communities to a broader public.
GPA funds well-conceived, sustainable grassroots health projects known to have a significant impact on maternal & child health designed by local communities. We provide financial assistance and training to empower groups to achieve long-term impact & sustainability. In 2020, we launched an Emergency Action Fund to help communities in Mexico & Guatemala suffering from the Covid pandemic. GPA funded 10 community projects, including providing food and basic medical supplies to 1400 people in indigenous communities in Guatemala; supporting a shelter for migrant women and children; delivering PPE & personal hygiene supplies to women and their children living in a prison; providing prenatal care to rural, indigenous women & empowering 182 Guatemalan women to reverse the severe malnutrition afflicting their families.
