At FAME, we believe short-term trips can have a long-term impact.
Recently, a small team of childbirth professionals traveled to a country where infant mortality rates are heartbreakingly high. Their goal? To train Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) using the curriculum “Helping Babies Breathe.”
These TBAs are often the most trusted women in their villages—experienced, caring, and dedicated—but their training is usually informal, passed down by observation and experience rather than instruction. As long as everything goes smoothly, births are celebrated. But when complications arise, they can quickly become life-threatening, and medical help is often many miles away.
Instead of spending a week delivering babies themselves, this team chose to equip others to save lives. Through this training, they multiplied their impact—passing on skills that will continue to protect mothers and newborns for years, even generations, to come.
Because of your partnership, FAME can send teams like this around the world—transforming short-term trips into long-term hope through medical evangelism.
Thank you for making that possible.
