One Heart World-Wide (OHW) is a 501(c)3 organization with over ten years experience providing on-the-ground training in newborn and maternal health.
Our mission is to save women and children, one birth at the time.
Based on over ten years of experience in the Tibetan Autonomous Region, OHW has established an effective, replicable and sustainable model to reduce preventable deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth among vulnerable indigenous populations suffering from local barriers to care. Essential to the OHW model are integration of local resources, collaboration with local communities and providers, and respect for cultural norms and practices.
Current program sites include Urique (Sierra Tarahumara, Mexico), Baglung district (Western Nepal) and Qinghai Province (People's Republic of China).
