BARBARA MAY FOUNDATION
Giving Philosophy
The Barbara May Foundation prioritizes direct service delivery and capacity building in maternal healthcare across East Africa, with a particular focus on serving the poorest and most vulnerable women. The foundation values long-term sustainability through training local healthcare professionals and establishing partnerships with implementing organizations, ensuring lasting impact beyond immediate interventions. Their approach emphasizes dignity, prevention, and comprehensive care—combining emergency fistula repair with antenatal screening, midwife training, and hospital infrastructure development.
Tips for Applicants
Organizations should align with the foundation's core focus on maternal healthcare and fistula prevention/repair in East Africa (Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda). Prospective partners should demonstrate capacity to work with vulnerable women in remote settings, commitment to training local healthcare workers, and ability to deliver services sustainably through established healthcare facilities or camps.
