About One Heart: One Heart's life-saving programs were initially established in the late 1990’s in the Tibetan Autonomous Region. Over the last decade, they have been able to decrease unattended home births from 85% to 20%, mostly by ensuring the presence of a skilled attendant at delivery. Based on their experience, One Heart developed an effective, replicable, and sustainable model to reduce preventable deaths related to pregnancy and delivery among vulnerable rural populations. They work with local communities and local health providers to develop a culturally appropriate Network of Safety around mothers and infants. Through teaching good practices and distributing essential supplies, One Heart ensures that mothers survive delivery and their infants enjoy the first months of life.
