Educate Families
Our Educate pillar empowers families and communities with the knowledge and skills to advocate for safer maternal health outcomes. Through trainings, toolkits, and community events, we build capacity at every level.
Education is the foundation of change. We provide evidence-based trainings, community block parties, baby showers, the 4KiraPages maternal health toolkit, POGIL implicit bias training for healthcare workers, and advocacy training for both self and policy.
