100% of net proceeds from the sold-out inaugural festival is supporting 10 nonprofit organizations advancing reproductive health, maternal health, economic justice, gender justice, family support and more in the U.S. and globally.

We sat down with Megan Christofield, Jhpiego’s Principal Technical Advisor for Family Planning & Reproductive Health, to discuss how exactly this work continues and why it cannot afford to lose momentum now.

After delivering a healthy baby girl at the Vidisha District Hospital, Sunita Bai developed heavy bleeding, which the nursing team quickly measured as 550 mL using a calibrated blood collection drape. Nursing Officers immediately initiated PPH treatment and closely monitored her condition. Their AMPLI-PPHI training enabled them to recognize the emergency and respond confidently without delay. The bleeding was controlled, so Sunita and her newborn were discharged safely.

In Tanzania, access to information and integrated health services is helping families like Jennifer and Ezekiel’s shape their future.

The opening of a new Neonatal Care Unit at Kwimba District Hospital in Tanzania is transforming care for premature and low-birthweight babies who once faced overcrowded conditions and long, risky journeys for specialized treatment. Supported by Jhpiego, partners, and the local community, the new facility brings lifesaving newborn care closer to families and gives babies like Grace’s triplets a safer start.
