One Heart World-Wide’s mission is to save the lives of women and infants in need, one birth at the time. Based on our experience, One Heart World-Wide developed an effective, replicable and sustainable model to reduce preventable deaths related to pregnancy and delivery among vulnerable rural populations. Simply put, we work with local communities and local health providers to develop a culturally appropriate Network of Safety around mothers and infants, by raising awareness, teaching good practices, and distributing essential supplies to ensure that mothers and infants survive delivery and the first months of life. The Network of Safety is innovative in that it is tailored to the local cultural context, that it puts the mother first and that our interventions are aimed simultaneously at several different levels to insure appropriate continuity of care for the mothers and infants. The demonstrated success of our model has lead us to expand our operations to other sites in need including the Baglung and Dolpo Districts in Western Nepal, and the Copper Canyon in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico.
(UK, 1095448) Browse eventsWe are a small charity that provides for children with Special Educational Needs aged from birth to 5 years and their families. We are an independent group that meets twice weekly at Hardmoor Early Years Centre (and every other weekend) as well as once a week at Thornhill Surestart Centre and Footsteps (at Mason Moor Primary school). We provide structured play inside and out, as well as support, education and advice for the families. Parents/Carers may stay with their children or leave the child with our staff for a well earned short break. We have a number of paid professional staff but also rely on wonderful volunteers.
