Mobilizing Support to Improve Maternal and Child Health Globally and in the USA
Partnering with locally led programs to save lives through care, education, and research
Your support helps turn proven solutions into sustained impact
Together, We Sustain Life-Saving Care
Welcome to Pediatric and Maternal Health Solutions – USA, a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization partnering with locally led health programs in Kenya. We mobilize resources, expertise, and global partnerships to strengthen maternal and child health through clinical care, community education, and evidence-based research.
As global health funding declines and rural health systems face increasing strain, families in Kenya are at heightened risk of preventable illness and death. In close partnership with Winam Pediatric and Maternal Health Solutions (Kenya), we help bridge critical gaps – ensuring proven, life-saving solutions remain accessible to the communities that need them most.
