100% of all contributions go to fund our programs
We work with collaborating foundations, like the Segal Family Foundation, the DAK Foundation, and the CRI Foundation to provide funding for medical equipment, biomedical support, clinical training and community health system "GAP Grants."
We also support select organizations that are serving the very poor in urban or peri-urban areas.
100% of contributions go to fund grants — there are no sales, marketing, salary, travel or administrative expenses associated with the Fund. These costs are borne personally by the Gould Family.
Many of our partners (who are not providing delivery services) are operating effective antenatal programs but, all too often, expectant mothers (especially the poorest) deliver with a traditional birth attendant or in a sub-standard, government clinic. Overcrowded conditions, lack of an organized referral – transport process, poor infection control procedures, staff indifference or training issues and lack of proper equipment contribute to poor outcomes. The poorest we serve are often relegated to these conditions — we can do better. The Delivery Subsidy Program (DSP) provides poor expectant mothers with a path from a quality, caring antenatal program to a safe, clean, respectful delivery in a “vetted” clinic. It can also be used to fund transport to and from a clinic and the purchase of a mama kit.
75% of expectant mothers in Integrate Health's catchment areas in northern Togo deliver in an IH supported delivery center – very impressive results. When discussing the remaining 25 % that are delivering with TBAs or with family help – the main barrier was transportation. IH identified a great solution - tri-motorcycles with a bed and bench attached to transport remote expectant mothers to HTH supported delivery centers. They are having 3 tri-motorcycles built to support their 3 delivery centers. We are helping IH fund the procurement and operation of this innovative solution.
