Programs described in its return (2)
- $276,510 spent. Training Initiatives: In poor regions with limited access to state health services, Indigenous midwives often provide essential maternal & child healthcare. GPA provides these health workers with training in evidence-based pediatric primary care, prenatal care, birth techniques & management, recognition of risk factors, danger signs, newborn care & a protocol for emergency-care response. In 2025 we worked with more than 650 midwives & health promoters in Mexico & Guatemala and equipped 455 traditional midwives with leadership skills to advocate locally, nationally, and internationally for improved maternal health access. We provided 128 adults the tools to help reduce gender-based violence, and we trained 590 medical staff to provide culturally respectful care to Mayan women. Our programs benefitted more than 350,000 people.
- $80,758 spent. Community-Designed Health Program: GPA funds well-conceived, sustainable grassroots health projects known to have a significant impact on maternal & child health designed by local communities with little access to quality health services. We partner with community groups in rural areas to achieve long-term impact & sustainability. In 2025, GPA supported six community-driven projects, including working with more than 700 women & children in Guatemala and Mexico in order to reduce severe malnutrition, prevent respiratory diseases and burns in children, and bring essential medical, dental and nutrition care and vaccines to remote villages through mobile clinics and health fairs reaching hundreds of families. The projects are benefitting approximately 10,000 people.
