OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE EVERY NEWBORN HAS ACCESS TO THE CRITICAL WARMTH NEEDED TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE. EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 13 MILLION BABIES ARE BORN PREMATURE OR WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, AND COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO PREMATURITY REMAIN A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG CHILDREN UNDER FIVE. MANY OF THESE DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE, YET ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE THERMAL CARE REMAINS LIMITED IN LOW-RESOURCE SETTINGS DUE TO INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRAINTS, UNRELIABLE ELECTRICITY, AND GAPS IN HEALTHCARE ACCESS.WE DO THIS THROUGH AN INTEGRATED MODEL BUILT ON THREE ELEMENTS: TRAINING, TECHNOLOGY, AND PARTNERSHIP. ALL THREE ARE REQUIRED. A WARMER WITHOUT TRAINING DOES NOT SAVE LIVES. TRAINING WITHOUT A TRUSTED LOCAL PARTNER DOES NOT HOLD. EMBRACE DOES NOT DONATE DEVICES.
