About One Heart
Saving the lives of mothers and babies worldwide
One Heart Worldwide (OHW) is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization with more than 20 years of experience implementing maternal and neonatal health programs in some of the most remote areas of the world. Our mission is to end all preventable deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth worldwide. Our vision is to improve access to, and utilization of quality healthcare services to reduce the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality in remote rural areas where mothers and their newborns are most vulnerable.
​
Simply put, we believe all women and newborns should receive the quality healthcare services they deserve during pregnancy and childbirth, anytime and anyplace.
About 'It Takes a Village' Event
Originally, we were setting up our Mother's Day event to take place at the Infinity Lounge in downtown San Francisco. It was going to be a classy affair with small bites and incredible speakers and then reality happened - as everyone has since figured out.
​
So now here we are, attempting to pull off a week(+) full of honoring the goddesses we all know as 'mom'. COVID-19 has rocked the foundation of what OHW was founded on and our whole staff has been working harder now than ever before. However, we didn't want this special mom time to be overshadowed by the international pandemic. Over the next couple weeks we will be posting some of our favorite stories from our past 10 years in Nepal and inspiring photos that make us want to shout from the rooftops about maternal health!
Our Sponsors
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to our sponsors for this event, Andrea & Michael Manship and Bank of the West. They helped make this possible (online and offline!) and we are so grateful for supporting safe pregnancies for Nepali women
