2020 CAMPAIGN
Circle of Health International (COHI) is an organization dedicated to supporting women and their communities during crises and disasters. Their focus lies in ensuring access to quality reproductive, maternal, and newborn care. By addressing these critical healthcare needs, they aim to provide essential support and services in challenging situations, highlighting the vital importance of specialized care for women and newborns in times of crisis.
​
Our campaign focused on their critical work in Puerto Rico due to COVID and a series of natural disasters that devastated the island.
DEVASTATION IN PUERTO RICO
The Problem
Puerto Rico was devastated by earthquakes and hurricanes resulting in women and children facing immense health challenges. Circle of Health International (COHI) aligns itself with local, community-based organizations led and powered by women to help women.
ON THE GROUND ASSISTANCE
The Solution
COHI’s response to Puerto Rico’s natural disasters has been to work directly with local midwives, nurses, and physicians to provide medicine, care and supplies. COHI helps offset transportation and relocation costs for expectant mothers and families with newborns, and repairs local birth and maternity centers. COHI has served over 5,000 women and children and provided 50,000 pounds of essential medicines and supplies, but the dangers continue for vulnerable mothers and babies.
WHAT WE DID TOGETHER
With the funds raised from hundreds of people who joined Mothers' Day Movement to shift gift-giving on Mother's Day, COHI improved maternal outcomes for women and their babies during such a difficult time in Puerto Rico.
