We can’t wait to expand to Africa and help rural villages. Charcoal stoves to heat babies?!?! Oh no =(
I recently returned from Uganda where I was caring for a premature baby with no incubator or way of warming him other than a small space heater in the hospital. He came from an extremely poor village called Masese where there are a high number of premature babies born each year. A few days ago I found out that the baby passed away. The town that I was working in has no incubators. The main hospital uses charcoal stoves to heat babies. Now that I am back in the US I am working to provide a way for the voluteers that are there in Masese to help care for these babies. Right now, my primary concern in their body temperature. In my research for a sustainable way to heat infants, I came across your organization. I would like to hear more about your product and if it is something that could be availble to provide for this community. Thank you, Jenny

Prayers to those in Haiti. We hope to help with disaster efforts, if anyone has contacts to birthing centers that are in need of infant warmers, please contact comments@embraceglobal.org
Dear Embrace, I am a Haitian Native living in Florida. I found your information on the internet and was very impressed with your work. I would like to communicate with you regarding the possibility of extending your reach to the Haitian children who are victims of the January 12th earthquake. As a mother, I am deeply impacted by the increasing rate of infant mortality. Just the other day, three babies died within one hour under the same tent serving as a makeshift hospital. While the resources were already scarce in Haiti, the situation has become more dire. I am very impressed with your product and the intuitive technology it uses. I am part of the Haiti Relief Task Force in Broward County Florida and spoke to them about Embrace. They are very excited about the impact it can have on survival for these children. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Régine
